Awards & Recognition
From design innovation to environmental impact, we’re honoured to have been recognised for doing what we love most - creating thoughtful, sustainable alternatives that make everyday living greener. These awards celebrate the collective effort of our team, our community, and our planet-first mission.
These awards prove that change is possible - and that together, we can make sustainable living easy, accessible and beautiful.
Here are some of our achievements that reflect that shared purpose:
Smart50 Awards
FINALISTS
The Smart50 Awards recognise Australia’s fastest-growing and most innovative businesses. Run by SmartCompany, the awards celebrate entrepreneurs and teams driving sustainable growth, creativity and impact across the country.
Australian Young Entrepreneur Award
FINALISTS
The Australian Young Entrepreneur Awards celebrate the nation’s most driven founders and innovators under 40. The awards recognise individuals who are redefining industries, creating positive change, and shaping the future of Australian business.
When I started Seed & Sprout, I never imagined how far this little idea would grow. What began with a single lunchbox has blossomed into a full range of products that touch almost every part of daily life, from the kitchen to personal care and beyond.
Seeing our work recognised through these awards is incredibly humbling, but the real win is what they represent - a community of people who care. None of this would be possible without our passionate team who pour their hearts into every product, and without you - our community - who continue to support, share, and choose better every single day.
These awards aren’t just ours; they belong to EVERYONE who believes that small changes can make a big difference. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for helping turn what was once just a dream into something truly meaningful.
