Plastic seedling containers are easily damaged, leading to transplanting injury; their degradation cycle is hundreds of years, and they release toxic substances under high temperatures, affecting plant growth; traditional terracotta containers are heavy and expensive, making them unsuitable for automated seeding production lines.
Developed biodegradable pulp molded seedling containers, using wet pressing technology to achieve a balance between an ultra-thin 0.3mm wall thickness and 300kPa compressive strength; the perforated design promotes root development; combined with biodegradable adhesive bonding technology, the natural degradation rate reaches 95% in 90 days, transforming into organic fertilizer after degradation.
Supplied 5 million nursery trays per year to a listed flower company, reducing transplanting injury rate by 30% and increasing root penetration rate by 30% compared to plastic containers; compatible with automated seeders operating at 3000 plants per hour; reduced unit cost by 20%.
