Flower pouch
Al’s Flower Pouch II from A.M.A. Plastics Ltd. adds to the product’s 17-year tradition of “A Burst of Beauty in a Bag!” with an Earth-friendly twist – it’s oxo-degradable. It provides the beauty consumers want in their gardens all season long. When they’re finished with it, they can simply empty the plant material and growing media into a compost pile and dispose of the pouch in that same compost pile or with their household waste. Oxo-degradable poly film begins a structural breakdown once in landfill conditions and completely disintegrates.
