Ellepots by A.M.A. are sustainable rooting media solutions for plant propagators. A.M.A. Plastics Ltd. has announced that it's ready to take orders for a “greener” Ellepot.
Denmark’s Ellegaard A/S, A.M.A.'s paper supplier, has produced a Hydroponic Paper certified by Washington State Department of Agriculture as complying with the USDA National Organics Standards (7 CFR Part 205) as a Crop Production Aid for use in Organic Agriculture. In addition, this paper carries the European DIN CERTCO compostability certification as being compliant with Standards DIN EN 13432 & ASTM D6400. This paper is suited to greenhouse production only with respect to organic certification, but it is a big step forward for greenhouse vegetable growers in particular. Ellepots are produced with an organic mix certified by Quebec Vrai. Growers should have this information reviewed by their own certifier to ensure organic standards compliance.
Ellegaard’s newly certified Hydroponic Paper allows a crop to be disposed of at the end of the production cycle along with the Ellepot in a composting facility.
