Soy is used in many inks that would go into pens. Though some still use petroleum-based products, many companies are using soy based inks because they are non-toxic and more environmentally friendly. Crayons are also moving from using a paraffin wax (a petroleum product) to soy-based wax as well.

the answer is: Crayons

Almost all of the crayons are made out by a petroleum by-product, which is paraffin wax. These type of crayons take many years to degrade and are bad for the environment.
But there is a better and affordable option: Prang crayon.Made from soybeans, these crayon are more vivid and smoother than regular crayons and are biodegradable.
