POWER TO THE PLANTS

Defence for plants is one of the most important considerations when nurturing growth in your garden. Now with an innovative new product you can promote a natural immunity within a plant to protect itself. ecofective® Plant Disease Defence is a pesticide free child & pet safe ready to use spray that contains natural extracts specifically derived from fungi. When sprayed onto leaves it is known to elicit the plants natural immune response. This builds the plant’s resistance to common garden diseases. It is also has a refill concentrate 200ml option so you can save throwing away the original bottle and reuse it.

Slugs are a common pest that often make holes in plant leaves and can kill young seedlings. ecofective® Slug Defence Plant Spray is a pesticide free child & pet safe ready to use spray that contains nutrients to enhance and promote plant growth. When sprayed onto plants it gives the plant an ability to withstand slugs or snails whilst ensuring they are all unharmed and that natural predators such as hedgehogs, amphibians and birds are safe to feed in your garden. The Slug Defence Spray also has a refill concentrate bottle to help you save waste.

Reduce waste with ecofective® refills

Featured

With the world facing a tough battle against reducing plastic waste, particularly with single used plastics, here at ecofective® we wanted to do our bit for the planet and come up with a solution to reduce the volume of plastic discarded after use.

DEVELOPING THE SOLUTION

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

During the summer (2020) we embarked on a voyage of discovery, conducting a virtual market research study into gardening habits with a willing group of gardeners who grow plants and produce in their gardens at home. It was from the results of this study it became apparent that now was the time to launch a waste reducing solution for using ecofective® products. We learned that over 85% of hobby gardeners looked to avoid using single use plastics and the same percentage were willing to use a refill packaging option to save waste if it was available.

These findings backed up development that had started earlier in 2020 within our product team for a 200ml refill bottle of concentrate that could be used to top-up the original ecofective® ready to use bottles once empty. This became the solution everyone needed, and we are now proud to launch ecofective® refills.

REDUCE WASTE AND REUSE

You can now reduce waste and reuse ecofective® original bottles with our ecofective® 200ml refill concentrate option, which is a concentrated formula that can be used to create a new ready to use formula in your existing ecofective® bottle. We have made these super easy to use, simply add the 200ml refill into the original bottle, top up with water and it’s ready to use again. This saves the need of throwing the larger bottle away. Instead, the 200ml recyclable bottle can be recycled, creating less impact to the recycling process and ultimately less waste for the planet.

VIEW THE RANGE

All our best-selling spray bottles and feed options now have a refill option, which is due to save thousands of discarded ecofective® bottles each year. The refill options can be seen below, feel free to click on a product and have a browse.

By continuing to innovate and develop the ecofective® range we strive to deliver products that are safer for the family, good for garden wildlife such as butterflies, hedgehogs and bees and be kinder to the planet.

 

ecofective is greener than ever

GREENER PRODUCTS. GREENER PACKAGING

We set on a journey to review our whole product range and identify how we could make a green brand, be more environmentally friendly.

Our product range is environmentally friendly and made in the UK, saving carbon footprint, so our packaging was the obvious area for improvement with some elements previously being made from plastic materials not widely accepted in the recycling process. With some development within our technical department, it was identified that all our plastic bottles could be made from recycled polypropylene. As well, we worked hard to source materials for our bottles and triggers so that they could also be recycled after use.

This means that for the 2021 ecofective range, we can proudly say that our bottles are made from 100% recycled material and the whole bottle, including the sprayer, can be recycled.

REDUCING SINGLE-USE PLASTICS

As we were also concerned about the increased usage of single-use plastics we wanted to go one step further by adding a new waste saving concept. From market research we conducted in July 2020, we identified that over 85% of gardeners looked to avoid using single use plastics and the same percentage are willing to use a refill packaging option to save waste.  This research backed up our own thoughts on introducing a concentrated refill bottle option into the ecofective range. This new addition to our range can be used to top up the original ecofective ready to use bottles which means instead of recycling larger bottles, only the 200ml bottles will be sent to the recycling bin.

UPDATED PACKAGING DESIGN

To cap off these exciting developments we have also updated the look and feel of our packaging. We have developed a new vibrant, more consistent design detailing a clear ‘CHILD AND PET SAFE’ leading message. The base of the design includes a different colour per product type and throughout is a two-tone green combination, confirming that ecofective is now greener than ever!
