What surfaces and drawing media can the Faber-Castell Knet-Radiergummi be safely used on?

It works well on paper, sketchbooks, watercolor paper and other porous surfaces, effectively erasing graphite, charcoal, colored pencil, pastel and similar dry media; it is not recommended for glossy or coated paper where it may leave a faint residue.

Are there any safety or handling warnings for this kneadable eraser?

The eraser is non-toxic but should not be ingested; keep it out of reach of children, wash hands after use, and avoid exposing it to open flames or high heat as the polymer can melt.

Is the Knet-Radiergummi’s packaging recyclable and is the eraser biodegradable?

The eraser itself is made from synthetic polymer and is not biodegradable, while the thin plastic wrapper is recyclable in facilities that accept soft plastics, though many recycling programs do not accept this type of packaging.
