The first pencil with seed that you can plant

There are many ecological projects spread around the world, initiatives and ideas. Some are based on carrying out some activity to preserve something that we are gradually losing, such as glaciers and poles, others focus on preventing risks associated with the environment such as caring for forests in summer and being careful with fires or hot areas, and some simply join an animal shelter and take care of them day after day. There are a thousand formats and ways to help the environment. However, at TAPP Water we believe more in the methods that involve making your life and your daily life ecological, because we believe that it is the best way to integrate a sustainable life with daily needs. In this sense, Sprout is the pencil with seed that you can plant once you have finished using it. And why plant it?

From pencil to tree

Although it is known to everyone that pencils are made mainly of wood, we can understand that the amount of wood, and consequently, trees dedicated solely to the production of pencils, is many, perhaps uncountable. So if we give every pencil a chance to re-flower like another tree, aren't we doing something great? A pencil with a seed that once spent we can get it to create another tree, where we also win because, doesn't a tree have enough wood for many pencils? Well, an entire tree would be created from a pencil with a seed. If there is a good example of what the word 'ecology' means, it is this one.

Sprout is a start-up that was born with the idea of generating and creating ecological products of value for its customers that currently sells in more than 60 countries. The company was very successful since its inception and its potential is yet to be discovered but they currently sell a good variety of different types of replantable pencils. Its founders, who were three MIT students, before developing the seed pencil, asked themselves how the three of them could create and design the first useful and sustainable office item, and from there they came up with the Sprout project. The first pencil with a seed inside was sold in 2013 and since then bloggers, press, organizations and businesses have contacted them and their demand and notoriety has increased throughout the world.
