At this time, the majority of farmers and growers utilize plastic polybags at the initial stage of the seed germination process. It is common knowledge that the use of plastic can be detrimental to the natural environment. In an effort to reduce farmers and growers reliance on plastic poly bags, Biodegradable Mini Polybags have been developed as an alternative packaging material for agricultural products.

It is no longer necessary for farmers and growers to remove seedlings from their polybags before to transplanting, at which point it can be put directly into the soil.
