Sprout World is a Danish company that develops sustainable and plantable writing tools. The company was established in 2013 by Danish entrepreneur Michael Stausholm.

The company's main product is the Sprout Pencil,[1][2][3] which was originally invented by three students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Boston, US.[4] Once the pencil is too short to use, it can be planted and a seed embedded in the end of the pencil can germinate and grow into a herb or flower.

Sprout is commercially successful in Denmark[5] and a number of other European countries including Northern America. Today, the company sells the Sprout pencils in more than 80 countries.

Currently, Sprout has offices in Denmark and the US.
