Eco-friendly plant pots at local Wal-Mart

  Garden center shoppers in the North Brunswick Wal-Mart, 979 Route 1 south, will see something other than the black pots in which flowers are traditionally sold. Garden State Growers and TerraCycle are offering annuals in upcycled margarine tubs. The upcycled pots are a more eco-friendly option because they eliminate the need to use virgin plastic and can be returned to TerraCycle to be used again. The plants will retail for approximately $5 each and will be shipped April 17 to the North Brunswick Wal-Mart as well as other select Wal-Mart stores in New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York and Vermont. TerraCycle collects non-recyclable or hard-to-recycle waste and uses it to create affordable, eco-friendly products. Through this partnership with Garden State Growers, one of the largest nurseries in New Jersey, TerraCycle has found an end-of-life solution for the Country Crock, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter, Promise, and Brummel & Brown tubs it has diverted from landfills.
