ecofective range honoured at Environmental Packaging Awards
GTN Xtra Promotion

 

Sipcam Home & Garden is proud to announce that its pioneering ecofective® garden care Spray Pouch range has been recognised with a prestigious Environmental Packaging Award - a win that celebrates innovation, sustainability, and meaningful change at shelf-level and beyond.

 

ecofective® won the Environmental Packaging Awards - Household Goods category, with stiff competition from top tier brands such as Shark.

 

Launched in 2024, the ecofective® Spray Pouch range introduced a ground-breaking packaging concept never seen before in the garden care market: a flexible pouch paired with an integrated spray nozzle.

 

The Spray Pouches have proved to be super easy to use in a one-handed operation, offering both convenience and conscious consumption. By using up to 55% less plastic than conventional rigid bottles, ecofective® Spray Pouches provide gardeners with highly effective results, while dramatically reducing environmental impact.

 

 

The award-winning range includes four core formulations that reflect ecofective®’s promise of eco-friendly performance:

  • Slug Stoppa - an eco-way to shield edible and non-edible plants from slugs and snails, without hurting them and the winner of the 2024 GIMA Sword of Excellence. 
  • Bug Stoppa - Physical control of a wide spectrum of pests including greenfly, blackfly, spider mite, and scale insect.
  • Disease Stoppa - Shields plants from common diseases like powdery mildew by creating an invisible protective barrier.
  • Rose Defender - Dual-action protection and nutrition for bright, healthy blooms, free from bugs and mildew.

ecofective® aims to bring to market products that not only provide effective solutions to common gardening problems but do so without negatively impacting the environment. All products are pesticide-freewildlife friendly and safe for use around children and pets.

 

Beyond their environmental credentials, the spray pouches offer standout in-store presence. Their full-surface branding creates eye-catching, seamless packaging design, while their weather-proof construction allows for merchandising both indoors and in undercover outdoor spaces—ideal for secondary placements and link sales.

This award recognises not only packaging excellence but a vision for a better, more responsible future in home and garden care. ecofective® is honoured to receive it and is proud to lead the charge towards a greener tomorrow. 

 

The accolade reinforces support for the ecofective® brand breaking the norm of plastic bottles and giving retailers a wonderful opportunity to support sustainable solutions.
