Replacing single use plastic trays in the horticulture industry

Flora Späth talks about how the horticulture industry is working on replacing single use plastic trays. Flora is a board member of Euro Plant Tray and an independent consultant for the horticulture industry.

In her role at Euro Plant Tray Flora is working towards replacing single-use plastic plant trays with a reusable pooling system, which is fully recyclable at end of life and can last for 10, 20 and even 40 years. When the system is introduced in 2024, it will save over 40,000 tons of plastic every year, equivalent to 220,000 tons of CO2.
