We are honoured to have won the Sustainability Impact Award at the Four Oaks trade show! The new ecoExpert packaging provides protection while plants are in transit going to consumers homes. The innovative clampacks securely protect plants of various sizes during transport, so that they have a safe journey in their matching outer box and give the consumers a fantastic unboxing experience. Modiform was the winner in the Sustainable Impact category, because all the ecoExpert products are made of materials that replace the plastic packaging currently in use. The ecoExpert material has a smaller impact on the environment and are more practical to recycle for the consumer. During the Four Oaks show there is always a competition to find the best new plant varieties and the best new products in horticulture. The competition is judged by a group of highly qualified colleagues from the horticulture sector, and this year's entries were of high quality. Made of recycled cardboard and biodegradable The clampack clamps around the pot, with the plant protruding through an opening at the top. The top can be secured with in the matching box by pushing in corner tabs. The patented clam-packs can also be secured at the bottom of the cardboard box easily, thanks to a specially designed securing system. This way, the pot and plant are optimally protected in a cardboard box during shipping. The in-box trays are a packaging solution that allows plants to be placed in a tray horizontally and subsequently be sent in a matching shipping box. Plants in several different pot sizes can be shipped together with this solution. Cleverly designed notches in the shipping box make it possible to place several trays on top of each other. Very efficient and sustainable!
