Plantable Seed Colour Pencil
Do you also keep a box of colour pens or pencils to highlight important aspects of a report or document? Instead of using those colour pencils made with wood, try this plantable seed colour pencil. The covering of this pencil uses recycled new paper. Moreover, after using the pencil, you don’t have to wonder how to dispose of them. Simply plant the pencil in a nearby garden and see the magic unfold.
Sustainable stationery meets the needs of the customer and saves the planet. Once it serves the purpose of colouring, the seeds in the pencil will grow in the land, and the paper will mix with the soil. When you feel that the length of the pencil is so small that it has no further use, bury it in the soil and water it daily. Enjoy the satisfaction of growing a plant instead of adding to the waste.
