“WHY PLANTABLE PENCILS ARE EARTH-FRIENDLY? Every year in India thousands of trees are cut down just to make pencils from the wood. Adding up to the environmental problems. This bio-degradable minimizes product net waste and the plantable feature encourages the user to think about growing instead of throwing. Once these pencils are too small to use, they can be planted in soil with the capsule end facing down. Ensure some sun and moisture to see your seeds sprout in a few days. PRODUCT OVERVIEW: > 1 box of 10 paper pencils with mixed seeds > Pencils and packaging are made from 100% recycled paper and colored using safe non-toxic colors > Planting instructions mentioned on the packaging.
