AmberFoil is widely recycled as long as it is not heavily contaminated with food residue.

Could you move to one of the more sustainable options above?It&#;s important to pick your product carefully. Plates, trays and bowls that are coated with a non-film grease/moisture barrier or aqueous (water based) food grade barrier are not easily recycled, especially as they are likely to be heavily contaminated with food residue. They will just end up contaminating the recycling stream and should be placed in the general waste bin.

Look for products that are FSC or PEFC certified.RedPlates, trays and bowls that are made of card for use with food are very likely to have a plastic film lining and a higher carbon footprint than other alternatives.

One to avoid. If these items end up as litter, they degrade into smaller and smaller bits called micro-plastics causing untold harm. Single-use plastic plates, trays and bowls cannot be recycled at home. Try switching to a green or amber choice soon.
Nursery trays, also known as seedling trays, are an essential tool for starting plants from seeds or cuttings. They are commonly made of plastic and come in various sizes and configurations, ranging from small cells to larger containers. Here are some of the benefits of using nursery trays for plant propagation:
Efficient use of space: Nursery trays are designed to maximize space utilization, allowing growers to produce a large number of seedlings in a small area. This is especially important for commercial growers who need to produce a large volume of plants in a limited space.
Uniformity: Using nursery trays ensures that all seedlings are grown under the same conditions, resulting in uniform growth and development. This is important for producing high-quality plants that are consistent in size, shape, and vigor.
Easy to handle: Nursery trays are lightweight and easy to handle, making them convenient for transport and handling. They can be stacked and moved around easily, saving time and labor in the production process.

Better root development: Nursery trays are designed to provide optimal root development by allowing for proper drainage and air circulation. This results in healthier plants with stronger root systems, which are better equipped to cope with transplant shock.
Reduced disease transmission: Using nursery trays can help reduce the transmission of soil-borne diseases, which can be a major problem in traditional seedling production methods. The trays can be sterilized between uses, preventing the buildup of harmful pathogens.
Cost-effective: Nursery trays are a cost-effective option for plant propagation, as they can be reused multiple times and are relatively inexpensive to purchase. This makes them a popular choice for both commercial growers and home gardeners.
In conclusion, nursery trays offer many advantages for plant propagation, including efficient use of space, uniformity, ease of handling, better root development, reduced disease transmission, and cost-effectiveness. They are a valuable tool for anyone involved in plant production and can help ensure the successful growth and development of healthy, high-quality plants.
