Traditional gardening equipment is usually made from plastic or clay, but the Bionicraft 'Alphapot' looks to take things in a much more eco-friendly direction by utilizing a widely available substance: food waste.
The pots are each crafted from food waste that has been compressed and dried, which allows them to be planted directly with your flower or plant and easily biodegrade in the soil. This eliminates the need for plastic alternatives and even makes the gardening process easier by letting gardeners simply place the whole unit into the ground rather than physically removing the plant.
The Bionicraft 'Alphapot' flower pots have a natural, inviting look and feel, and are perfect for keeping greenery in your home in a completely sustainable manner.
