| Abstract |
GreenTechno Polybag is a green technology innovation that can be reused
for planting. Currently, polybags are made of non-degradable polyethylene
and/or polypropylene resins to enable recycling. In transplanting, the
polybags have to be slit open to extract plants rooted in the soil medium that
the polybags not only cannot be reused, but the handling also results in
transplanting shock to the plants. Not many users would collect the polybags
for recycling as it is cheaper to just dispose. The uniqueness of the reusable
Polybag is that it has a zipped system which enable easy and fast removal
of the plant and soil medium, thus reduces transplanting shock without
spoiling the polybags. Thus, this innovative product not only reduces
damage, cost and time in the agronomic practices and recycling process in
the agriculture industry, but also enable sustainable business that help to
avoid any potential damage to the fragile ecosystem. |
