About

The ReLeaf project has developed a planting pot made from waste-derived biopolymers and bio-based fertilisers using a mix of agricultural residues and sewage sludge.

The pot is designed to biodegrade safely in soil without releasing plastic residues. It demonstrates how recovered nutrients and organic matter can be incorporated into a practical horticultural product.

Key benefits

  • Creates a higher-value use for agricultural residues and sewage-derived resources
  • Designed to biodegrade safely in soil without releasing plastics
  • Supports nutrient and organic-matter recovery in agricultural products

Application

  • Planting pots
  • Seedling cultivation
  • Horticulture
