Recyclable & Reusable Nursery Trays
Australian Ecosystems are a vertically integrated landscaping company approaching the problem of waste through a combined reuse and recycling program.
Australian Ecosystems have created a circular-economy solution to the horticultural plastic waste problem, replacing almost all single-use plastic pots at their nursery with unique durable, reusable multi-plant trays. Australian Ecosystems estimate that in 2020, over 2 million single-use individual plastic pots were diverted from landfill as a result.
