GO HOME!
Home is usually the best place to be, and our compostable products are no exception. The HOME in this line refers to the possibility of composting these products at home.
Our HOMEcap lets you enjoy your coffee and do something good for nature at the same time. The home-compostable coffee capsule for Nespresso systems brings the valuable nutrients of the coffee grounds to the compost without leaving any microplastics behind. The entire system, from the capsule to the sealing film, is made from TÜV Austria certified with OK-Compost-Home.
The reusable cup is compostable and at the same time dishwasher safe. The cup is available in three different colors, all of which can be printed.
GO NATURAL!
The term "natural" for our GC specials means that the products are decomposed naturally. This happens under natural conditions like the microbes in the soil, solar radiation and moisture. These factors ensure that nothing is left of the products at the end except biomass, water and carbon.
The materials we're using aren't yet certified because there aren't any certificates for these applications. If a plant pot was certified according to OK-Compost-HOME conditions, it would have to decompose completely after 24 weeks. That would be a disaster for the nurseries. Such a pot must remain in cultivation for at least six months and must be dimensionally stable until the plant leaves the nursery. We’ve used our experience from the last few years to come up with a plant pot formula that’s already produced great results with callunas and lavender. We’re also working with certification bodies to get a plant pot certificate up and running.
The Natural Pot can be buried together with the plant. This can avoid culture shock, as the plant can grow out of the pot at its pace. These plant pots are made in common tools and already go through several cultures at different nurseries. They are fully tested in handling and have no problems with being processed by machine.
Our labels are perfect for sticking in the soil next to the plant. We've got them in all sorts of sizes and shapes, and you can even get them printed.
