One highlight is a thermoformed round pot, which is now available with practical label slots. Pöppelmann will also present an extensive product portfolio of resource-saving plant pots that stand for true circular economy.

With the round pots of the VCG 13 K series, the loop closing thermoformed model has now been equipped with four label slots. They have the same shape and volumne as the popular VCG 13 Circular plant pots and are stackable and stable with irrigation/drainage without sacrificing weight reduction and associated cost savings.

The 26 mm slots with locking function are matched to the sizes of common labels to allow placement around the edge of the plant pot. The design makes quick and easy assembly possible and unauthorised removal more difficult. The product variant with label slots is also available for round pots of the VCG series with a diameter of 10.5 cm.

The new round pots of the VCG 13 K series are part of Pöppelmann TEKU's extensive Circular360 product range, which stands for more resource conservation and climate protection. The closed-loop plant pots are made of 100% post-consumer recyclate (PCR) in the plastic used and can be completely recycled after use. The products are certified by the cyclos-HTP institute and bear the Blue Angel eco-label. They are available in many different colors. Their contribution to more resource conservation and climate protection has been scientifically confirmed by the Fraunhofer Institute UMSICHT. In addition, with the baseline variant, as an alternative to non-recyclable black plant pots, the entry into the circular economy is possible. Baseline consists of PCR and part PIR, but does not contain virgin material.
