The Next Generation in Sustainable Plant Protection
Introducing the PolyNatural® Plant Sleeve, the next-generation plant protector specifically designed for young plants. As the sibling of our Aqua Plant Protector, this innovative Plant Sleeve safeguards your plants while reducing environmental impact.
Crafted for biodegradability in both soil and aquatic environments, it sets a new benchmark in sustainable horticulture practices.
Why Choose PolyNatural® Plant Sleeve?
The PolyNatural® Plant Sleeve is a purpose-built horticulture plant protector made to naturally biodegrade in soil and water. Our material has been i tested for marine, freshwater, and terrestrial biodegradability. If the product enters waterways, it breaks down safely, consumed by microbes without leaving harmful residues. On land, microbial activity also ensures decomposition, with an estimated lifespan of 1–2 years.
These dual-environment features make the vine halo a responsible choice for environmentally conscious growers - without compromising performance. Responsible disposal is still encouraged, but this product offers peace of mind for all planting environments.
How do they work?
Biodegradation: Produced with the same biotechnology behind our award-winning Vine Clips, each vine halo is created from natural, renewable materials and shaped through fermentation.
Eco-Performance: Around 41% of known microbes can metabolise our material, ensuring efficient breakdown and eliminating microplastic risks.
Zero Microplastics: The vine halo leaves no microplastic trace, making it a safe, environmentally friendly option.
