RootMaker launches sustainable BioPot

RootMaker Products is partnering with sustainable packaging company Footprint to launch the RootMaker BioPot.

The collaboration aims to contribute toward the future of plant cultivation with an eco-friendly, plantable alternative to eliminate traditional single-use plastic pots. RootMaker has been recognized for its approach to enhancing plant growth through patented root pruning containers.

The RootMaker BioPot provides root structure development while reducing environmental impact, with Footprint offering expertise in creating sustainable products that replace single-use plastics.

Features of the RootMaker BioPot

• Construction: Made from Footprint's plant-based fibers, the RootMaker BioPot ensures a minimal environmental footprint while contributing to soil health as it breaks down naturally over time.
• Root growth: Utilizing RootMaker's proprietary air-pruning technology, the BioPot promotes healthier, robust root systems, leading to stronger, resilient plants.
• Applications: Ideal for both commercial growers and home gardeners, the RootMaker BioPot is designed to support a wide range of plant species and cultivation methods.
• Water efficiency: The RootMaker BioPot's unique material composition aids in moisture retention while preventing root rot, ensuring optimal hydration for plants. It also keeps the plant cooler than current plastic containers.

“Partnering with Footprint to create the RootMaker BioPot aligns perfectly with our mission to advance sustainable horticulture practices,” says RootMaker President Wayne Hinton.

“We are excited to offer a solution that not only supports superior plant growth but also addresses the pressing need for environmentally responsible products,” says Footprint’s SVP of Sales & Marketing Nicole Juntunen. “Our collaboration with RootMaker demonstrates our commitment to driving innovation through our sustainable solutions.
