There are all kinds of ties, wraps, nets, straps, harnesses and wires for holding plants to stakes during shipping, at the wholesalerretailer, or in the garden. When conventional petroleum-based plastic is used, the ensuing broken ties become trash, litter, or waste. If a biodegradable plastic was used the discarded ties and wrap would eventually become plant food and soil enhancements.Green Dot has several bioplastic formulations that could make ties of different types soft, stretchy, rigid, or brightly colored. The ties could be simple, tape-like, strips or more complicated molded shapes. Tape in a wider format could be used as a tree wrap or bark protector.
