New EcoPot Tops Under Commercial Evaluation

Release Date: 2006-06-09

EcoPot Tops manufactured from fertilizer enriched EcoCover, cut into disc shapes (in a variety of sizes) are now undergoing commercial evaluation in several major nurseries including an Australian Federal Government nursery.

One particular nursery who is about to trial tens of thousands of EcoPot Tops presently employs 30 labourers solely for hand weeding. Not only is this a very high cost, but labour is increasingly difficult to find for such a task.

Interim reports to date show excellent performance for water conservation and weed control. The projected market in Australia for EcoPot Tops is approximately 75 million pieces annually. The projected market in the USA is approximately 1+ billion pieces annually.

EcoPot Tops will save on water costs, offer a unique company branding opportunity and also eliminate hand weeding, saving money.
