Biodegradable pots

There are many solutions to making compost at home and a lot of systems to recycle almost everything.

And why does not apply the same philosophy to the vases and pots,which are ever in contact with nature?

Some time ago had been successful an experiment about the Biomass, made in Albenga (Italy): 130 thousand vases fully compostable, made of Mater-Bi (bioplastics) have been produced and distributed to nurseries in the city, which annually produce 120 million of potted plants and 90% of them are exported to Northern Europe.

But the materials with which to produce biodegradable pots are manifold.

Vipot, for example, has created a series of technical solutions and decor of various shapes and sizes, from waste materials such as rice husk, obtained from husking the paddy rice, which constitutes 85%. The remaining parts have no absolutely chemical agents, the vases are 100% natural.

Functional and stable for a cycle of five years in internal and for three years for external use, Vipot vases keep alive the color without fading. In addition, in case they are buried or disposed of in the collection of organic waste from the kitchen, they turn quickly in compost and they help the composition with the woody structure of the rice husk.

Lightweight and stylish, these vases can also be transplanted into each other.

Another interesting project is Graine de Pot: this is a biodegradable pot, suitable for cultivation in the garden city.

In addition, no small feat, after nine months the vases decomposes, without disposal. Same thing happens with Easy Home Grown, a vase in bamboo fiber, eco-friendly and fully recyclable.

Packit Pot is made with polypropylene, created by designer Anton Webb and it's designed to grow plants in pots on the balcony.

It's easy to carry and takes up less space than traditional vases. Packit Potz is mounted according to requirements and depending on the size of the plants that are used.

Easy to clean, due to its transparency allows you to see when the roots are grown enough to transplant into the ground. But at this point it should be thrown: you have just to reverse it and use it as a small portable greenhouse for the species in the soil that they need a more humid microclimate.
