Jumbo Ellepot - the Landscape solution In 2004, Penn State University College of Agriculture Sciences estimated that cell packs, flats and assorted plastic pots accounts for more than 320 million pounds of waste each year. Annually, more than 50 million pounds of plastic pots alone will be transported to landfills to degrade over the next decades. Ellepot will not just remove this unnecessary waste; it will also help production efficiency, allowing growers to decreasing the time needed in the greenhouse (reducing CO2 emissions), improve overall quality of the plant, and increase the productivity dramatically when planting. Scrap is waste and waste is unnecessary use of CO2 The world is getting warmer and our landfills are getting fuller and fewer! In the past five years, Ellegaard, a Danish Company, has invested heavily in producing a product that will not only reduce the amount of environmental waste, but also reduces the carbon footprint by up to 20% compared with traditional plastic pots. We believe that the future dictates a “green” solution, but it is important to remember that a green solution doesn’t grow on trees and we must strive towards making green initiatives sustainable by implementing green initiatives that also improves our customer’s productivity! Time wasted = opportunity wasted A landscape crew can plant the Ellepot up to 40% faster than with traditional plastic pots! Especially in today`s world, where labor has been cut to a minimum in most industries, products that improve productivity will prevail! So even if the environmental issue is not the primary reason to use Ellepot, then perhaps improved productivity can be the motivating reason! Easy does it The Ellepot is easy to work with, which will be useful when plants that are too young are planted early due to time constraints. The Ellepot allows this, where a plastic pot would make it very time consuming. With the Ellepot, the roots have already grown through the paper so customers say that there is no transplant shock and plants take off quicker in the landscape with fewer losses. Change is never easy! But it is proven that Ellepot is the sustainable solution in the landscape market.
