Miracle-Gro® Performance Organics™

Manufacturer: ProAmpac, proampac.com

Description: Scotts Miracle-Gro® partnered with ProAmpac to design a more sustainable package for the launch of Miracle-Gro® Performance Organics™ growing media. They achieved this by replacing 25% of the traditional oil- or natural gas-based polyethylene (PE) with a bio-based resin made from sugarcane. More importantly, the cultivation of sugarcane uses carbon dioxide and releases oxygen to give bioplastic a negative carbon footprint. 

Additionally, Miracle-Gro® Performance Organics™ reuses millions of pounds of organic materials annually in the soil product content, further demonstrating the company’s commitment to sustainability. These extruded structures provide a durable and more sustainable package. With approval from rigorous testing measures, the new bag can withstand harsh environmental challenges while maintaining the quality and performance of the product.
