As part of a six-state initiative, 200 Walmart stores throughout the Northeast have partnered with Garden State Growers, a family-owned Hunterdon County nursery, and TerraCycle, a New Jersey based company that specializes in the collection and reuse of non-recyclable or difficult-to-recycle post-consumer waste, to offer a new spin on plastic plant pots for sale at Walmart.
The new eco-friendly option replaces traditional, disposable pots, in which flowers are typically sold, and instead gives plastic containers like Country Crock tubs and I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter tubs a second life.
