Horticulture recyclability: what are the eco-friendly alternatives?

Eco-conscious customers demand a reduction in plastics and an increase in sustainable packaging that does not damage the environment. 

After all, horticulture in itself is the preservation and beautification of the environment, so why damage it through lazy packaging? 

 There are a lot of products that are available across the industry to help you keep on top of your recycling game. Eco-friendly plant pots Plant pots can be made from a variety of materials, including wood, stone, metal, and terracotta. 

Terracotta pots are excellent because the manufacturing process does not include any harmful chemicals, and they are porous, which allows for air and water to easily move through to prevent root rot and soil disease. 

 Biodegradable and recyclable labels and tags

 A large portion of Dura-ID's horticultural stock labels has been recyclable since they started producing them, including the main two materials that they use across a large variety of sectors: polyplas and laserplas. Polyplas are horticultural stock labels for thermal printing, while laserplas are used in laser printing. 

The self-tie tags provide an easy identification procedure, even if you are wearing thick gardening #Agribusiness #Agriculture #horticulture #greenhouse #change #circularity.
