Description
Sprout™PENCIL is a responsibly-made plantable pencil.
Your trusty pencil is there when you’re ready to jot down an idea or draw out your latest creation. And, let’s be real, getting new pencils was always the best part of going back to school. But some pencils may not have the best impact on the planet — mismanaged forests and unneeded waste can wreak havoc on the environment.
With your Sprout™PENCIL, you have sustainable writing at your fingertips. Each pencil is thoughtfully crafted with FSC-certified wood, preserving its natural color and beauty. A black graphite core lets you easily put your thoughts on paper. And when you’re finished with your pencil, you don’t have to toss it in the trash. Instead, you can plant it!
At the end of your Sprout™PENCIL a non-GMO seed capsule is just waiting to sprout. So when you plant it, you bring a new meaning to the word “green.” Simply place the capsule in soil, add sunlight and water, and watch your new plant come to life. Then begin again with your next plantable pencil and know you’re doing something positive for the planet every time you write.
Each pack of 5 contains an assortment of seeds, which may include:
- Sunflower
- Daisy
- Carnation
- Forget Me Not
- Cherry Tomato
- Basil
- Thyme
- Sage
- Coriander
- Chia

Impact
Some conventional pencils come from irresponsibly managed forests, and may contribute to deforestation or carbon emissions. Sprout™PENCILs are carbon-neutral — and they’re made from PEFC or FSC certified wood. This means the wood is sustainably sourced, and a tree is planted for every one harvested. SproutWorld also gives back to the forests they source from, protecting key habitats and ecosystems. And since your Sprout™PENCIL can grow into a new plant, you help keep the world green with every word on the page.
