Composting and the Eco+ Container
Imagine a zero-waste gardening experience. That’s the future Danny Mishek, inventor and manufacturer of Eco+ containers, is striving to create. Proven Winners hosted a consumer webinar to learn about Mishek’s vision for a circular economy in horticulture - one that shifts from a Take-Make-Waste model to a model built on renewable resources and organic recycling. He also shared practical tips for composting Eco+ containers industrially and at home. We invite you and your customers to watch the recording online.
