Sustainability

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️  4-star “OK biobased” 

As a result of increased environmental awareness worldwide, there is a growing demand for substrates based on renewable raw materials.
Our mission is to strive for sustainable products and due to the environmentally conscious motivation of our customers, we have succeeded in developing high-quality substrates that meet the strict requirements of TÜV Austria “OK biobased” certificate.

The research method behind the TÜV Austria “OK biobased” certification is very simple and the exact value can be measured and calculated accurately and scientifically. This makes checks and rechecks very transparent and extremely reliable.
Based on the percentage of renewable raw materials (% biobased), the product is certified as 1, 2, 3 or 4-star biobased.

Eazy Plug scores with all its substrates in the highest class with 4 stars!

Compostability

Eazy Plug materials are a 100% compostable in industrial composting conditions. The bonding of its components does not have a discernible effect on the composting proces. Combined with its non-toxicity, Eazy Plug materials can simply be put into soil or any other natural environment without leaving a footprint.

Denature

For critical waste processes, the Eazy Plug system consists of several components that allow for an easy separation after cultivation. Only Plug and Block will contain the original cutting and formed callus from which root structure and plant have emerged. The bulky Pyramid will only contain a dense structure of small hair roots, without any regenerative capacity. When all regenerative residues need a specific waste route, the Plug and Block can easily and quickly be separated from the Pyramid, thus minimizing the volume that needs to be denatured. The Pyramid can be recycled or composted in an industrial way.

Recycling

Looking at composting the Eazy Plug material, the material itself actually does not need composting. What needs to be composted is the hair root mass inside the Pyramid. Due to the airy character of the Eazy Plug material and the thin hair roots, composting is very quick and easy.

Eazy Plug material can be:

• used as soil improver
• easily composted,
• packed and sold as composted soil

Cradle to cradle

The Eazy Plug system is designed to follow the cradle to cradle principle. Cradle to cradle (C2C) is a different way of thinking about designing sustainable solutions in the form of products and processes developed by William McDonough and Michael Braungart. The core of this philosophy is that the materials that have been used in one product can be reused in a high quality manner in a next product, in a technical or in a biological cycle.
