Designer Eco-Pots
After years of trying to come up with a product that would enhance the presentation of our standard plastic production pot we discovered this new technology in China that was using the chaffing or 'rice hulls' off of rice and creating a light weight yet durable display pot that is made out of recyclable products and is biodegradeable. This pot design is EXCLUSIVE to Kalapana Tropicals worldwide.
Eco-pots are composed of 85% rice hulls and natural binding agents (starch-based, water-soluble binders and biodegradable additives). There is no heavy metal, benzene or any other toxic ingredient involved during the production of these pots. Formed by the hot press method, these pots will last anywhere from 3 to 5 years depending on usage. There is no industrial pollution generated during manufacturing and there is no waste as all scraps are re-used. Eco-pots will biodegrade and can be composted back into the earth.
The rice hulls along with organic, environmentally friendly pigments give these pots a very natural texture, look and feel. Our custom made eco-pots are economical and Earth-friendly with a classic look!
Inside each eco-pot there are 4 nibs, one in each corner that will insert into 4 round holes in the bottom of our grower pot. When placed in correctly the grower pot will lock into the eco-pot & stabilize the plant.
Eco-pots are available in avocado green, chocolate brown, mustard gold, and paprika red and soon charcoal black.
In October 2009 we will also have a snap on saucer for the bottom of the pots.
These pots can be ordered either wholesale or can be added to your order through our on-line shopping cart.
