Using Ellepot paper is your guarantee for a safe environment. A thorough testing and documentation program is forming the basic outline target for all Ellepot Papers. It is not just a paper that will degrade in a requested period of time. Every content and ingredient in the paper is analysed and evaluated.
A 3rd party Microbiologic Laboratory at The Danish Technological Institute conduct a thorough analysis on all our papers. These analyses help us evaluate the impact on the environment.
We also use the well renowned agricultural institute SEGES to evaluate the analyses according to the EC directive 86/278/EEC, on the protection of the environment, and in particular of the soil.
SEGES statement: “The Ellepot papers pose no harm to the environment. The paper pots will decompose in the soil when planted directly in the field soil.”
Ellepot verifies that our products degrade safely and efficiently in an aerobic environment, and confirms that material are not building up in the environment to harmful concentrations before degradation occurs.
