Summit Plastic, Ball Announce bio-pot price reduction

Summit Plastic Co. and Ball Horticultural Co. announced a price reduction for their pots made from renewable bio-materials. The price reductions affect TerraShell home compostable pots, select Rice Hull NetPots and trays made of plant-based materials (PLA).

TerraShell pots, in addition to being third-party certified home compostable, fit growers’ automated filling processes and can be custom printed.

Rice Hull NetPots can be planted by home gardeners who report that NetPots eliminate transplant damage and ease their disposal. The price reduction affects four sizes of the seven offered.

Growers who wish to offer their customers a comprehensive sustainable package can use PLA trays as an option. The trays are available in a variety of configurations to fit all the bio-pots offered by Summit and Ball. PLA is durable in production, and is industrial compostable.
