Bin the bottle and pick up a pouch with ecofective

 

Sipcam Home & Garden are leading the way in sustainable packaging with flagship brand ecofective®, encouraging retailers and gardeners to ‘Bin the Bottle’ with their range of plastic saving spray pouches.

 

Less Plastic, Less Energy, Less Waste 

ecofective® Slug Stoppa was the stand-out new product in 2024, a flexible spray pouch that protects plants from slugs and snails, without hurting them. Slug Stoppa isa joy to use with its ergonomically designed ‘thumb pump’ trigger design. The pouch itself has up to 55% less plastic than a conventional rigid spray bottle, consuming less energy throughout its lifecycle, and resulting in less waste to collect, sort and recycle!

 

This first to market innovation was fully backed up with the slug solution winning an array of awards including best overall new product at Glee 2024 and the prestigious 2024 GIMA Sword of Excellence.

 

Following on from these accolades the ecofective® spray pouch range has expanded, with three exciting new products! Bug Stoppacontrols greenfly, blackfly, spider mite, scale insect and more. Disease Stoppa shields plants against common diseases including powdery mildew by creating an invisible barrier against disease spores. Rose Defender provides nutrients for vibrant healthy roses whilst also controlling bugs and mildew.

 

For those who want to re-use their Slug Stoppa trigger, there is now a Slug Stoppa Replacement Pouch available, which attaches to the existing trigger, saving the consumer £1 when compared to buying a brand-new Slug Stoppa 1 litre spray pouch.

 

 

Less Waste More Impact

The impactful flexible pouches are weather-proof allowing link- sale merchandising in both indoor and undercover outdoor environments near plants. With fantastic on-shelf appeal, there are POS solutions to support retailers and enhance the shopping experience in garden centres.

 

ecofective®’s leap forward to flexible pouch packaging is breaking the norm of plastic bottles and giving retailers a wonderful opportunity to support sustainable solutions. Get in touch today to ‘Bin the Bottle’ and pick up a pouch!
