There are a few sustainable stationery options on the market – but it will be difficult to find something more eco-friendly than a pencil that grows into a plant at the end of its use.
Sprout Plantable Pencils – 3 Pack (£6.85) come in the seed combination of cherry tomato, forget-me-not and sunflower. Instead of an eraser, at one end of the pencil is a seed capsule, which is water-soluble so it just needs to be placed in moist compost for the seed inside to germinate.
The seeds are non-GMO, and the pencils themselves are non-toxic and lead-free, using sustainable cedar wood, graphite and clay.
