Recycling plastic plant pots

From Afternoons, 1:30 pm on 5 November 2021

When you buy plants or seedlings they often come in a little plastic pot.

Most people then take the plants out of those pots and put them in something a little more sturdy or stylish.

But what comes of the original plastic things? Typically, they end up in landfill.

Well, Mitre 10 are now collecting those forgotten containers and recycling them for future plants with supply partner Zealandia Horticulture. Jesse speaks to Zealandia Horticulture general manager Pedro Wylaars.
