Modiform has won the Sustainability Impact Award at the Four Oaks trade show for its ecoExpert online packaging. Modiform was the winner in the Sustainable Impact category because all the ecoExpert products are made of materials that replace the plastic packaging currently in use. According to Modiform, the ecoExpert material has a smaller impact on the environment and is more practical to recycle for the consumer.

Made of recycled cardboard and biodegradable
The ecoExpert products are biodegradable products made of recycled cardboard, and the online packaging products specifically address the problem of shipping plants safely and sustainably. "These shipping solutions are how retailers are responding to growing consumer demand for plants delivered directly to their homes in eco-friendly products." The online packaging products consist of clampacks and in-box trays.
The clampack clamps around the pot, with the plant protruding through an opening at the top. The top can be secured within the matching box by pushing in corner tabs. "The patented clampacks can also be secured at the bottom of the cardboard box easily, thanks to a specially designed securing system. This way, the pot and plant are optimally protected in a cardboard box during shipping."
"The in-box trays are a packaging solution that allows plants to be placed in a tray horizontally and subsequently sent in a matching shipping box. Plants in several different pot sizes can be shipped together with this solution. Cleverly designed notches in the shipping box make it possible to place several trays on top of each other."
