Sprout Pencils to “Sprout” Sustainable Habits
Did you know that every year, the United States alone throws out 1.6 billion plastic pens? Until computers completely take over, we will always need writing utensils, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that those utensils have to end up in landfills.
Eco-Friendly Promotional Pens
Sprout Pencil
While more eco-friendly solutions to non-compostable pens and pencils are popping up, our all-time favourite solution is the Sprout Pencil.
What are Sprout Pencils?
The Sprout Pencil is not just any old biodegradable pencil. In place of an eraser, the end of the pencil has a water-soluble capsule filled with seeds. Once the pencil is through, the pencil can be planted into some soil, and grow into flowers, herbs or vegetables, (depending on which type of seed the capsule is customised with).
Seeds for Sprout Pencils
Choose from a selection of seeds to pop in the seed capsule at the end of the pencil. Choices include flowers, herbs and vegetables:
Even cooler, the pencils can be laser engraved (10cm x 0.5cm) with a custom logo or message, making them an ideal marketing tool for brands of all sorts. Colour pencils are also available, and can “sprout” into a variety of 12 different plants.
From a marketing standpoint, there is tremendous value in a seed-based promotional product like a Sprout Pencil. Not only are clients reminded of a brand’s marketing message each time they use the pencil. But, if they decide to plant it, their relationship with the branded product turns into a nurturing one as they tend to the plant and watch it grow. This product is a triple threat, as it’s great for clients, businesses, and the environment!
