The Roger company, led by the visionary founder Giampaolo Teti, is revolutionizing the horticultural sector with an eco-sustainable solution: hemp fiber pots. This innovation promises to drastically reduce the environmental impact of nurseries, while fighting the proliferation of microplastics.
Main characteristics of hemp pots:
Resistance comparable to plastic pots
Optimal impermeability
Competitive production and sales costs
100% compostability and biodegradability
Zero negative impact on the environment
The problem of microplastics in nurseries:
Currently, an average-sized nursery uses between 500,000 and 1 million plastic pots. This massive use of non-biodegradable materials contributes significantly to microplastic pollution, a growing threat to marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
Field-proven benefits:
Some nursery gardeners have already tested hemp pots, confirming:
Ease of use
Operational benefits
Environmental sustainability
A step forward in the fight against microplastics:
Replacing plastic pots with hemp ones represents a concrete opportunity to reduce the release of microplastics into the environment. This innovative solution aligns perfectly with micromar.org's mission to promote sustainable practices and protect marine ecosystems.
Affordability:
A crucial aspect of this innovation is its affordability. Hemp pots will have a comparable cost to plastic ones, making the transition to more sustainable practices affordable for all nurseries.
Roger's initiative with Giampaolo Teti offers a concrete solution for nurseries that want to reduce their environmental impact, without compromising quality and costs. This project represents a significant step towards a microplastic-free future, in line with the sustainability objectives promoted by Micromar.
