Hinojosa launches compostable cellulose plant pot for nurseries

Hinojosa Packaging Group has developed a compostable nursery pot made from cellulose with a 100% bio coating, in partnership with sustainable-nursery specialist Cuidatree. The plastic-free pot is designed to be buried at planting and fully biodegrade in the soil, and will be shown at Fruit Attraction 2026 in Madrid from 6 to 8 October.

Why this mattersPlastic-free, biodegradable nursery pots offer growers a compostable alternative as EU pressure on single-use plastics in agriculture intensifies.

• The pot is made of cellulose with a 100% bio coating and contains no plastic.
• Trials showed the pot maintains structural stability for up to seven months under normal nursery conditions.
