Plant-sprouting pencils?


Plantable pencil? Yes, ain’t it cool? — Sprout

IT’S about as far removed from a technology startup as you can get. The company sells US$2 pencils that can be shoved into soil, after which a plant will sprout.

Revenue is set to double this year to about US$1.5mil. Customers now include Disney, Ikea and Bank of America, with new orders consistently exceeding budgets, by a lot.
