ProAmpac, a global leader in flexible packaging and material science, has teamed up with ScottsMiracle-Gro to revolutionize the packaging used in the new O.M. Scott & Sons brand of natural grass seed, clover seed, and grass food products. The packaging features ProAmpac’s PRO-EVO® Recyclable SOS Bags, which have helped the O.M. Scott & Sons brand transition to fiber-based solutions that are curbside recyclable and support top-tier product protection.
Traditionally, many lawn care products have been packaged in multilayer plastic films. By switching to PRO-EVO® Recyclable SOS Bags for the O.M. Scott & Sons brand, ScottsMiracle-Gro is introducing fiber-based packaging to the lawn and garden sector, providing consumers with a recyclable option that can be placed in curbside paper recycling bins.
“The transition to PRO-EVO® Recyclable Bags has been smooth and successful,” said Ray Severa, a packaging engineer with ScottsMiracle-Gro who led the O.M. Scott & Sons packaging initiative. “These bags run efficiently in our production process, deliver the durability we need, and align with our focus on environmentally responsible packaging.”
“ScottsMiracle-Gro sought a packaging solution that protects the O.M. Scott & Sons products while enhancing sustainability for consumers,” said Hesam Tabatabaei, senior vice president of global product development and innovation at ProAmpac. “Our curbside recyclable PRO-EVO® SOS Bags, built with enhanced moisture protection and durability, deliver branding impact required for lawn care products.”
This collaboration underscores ProAmpac and ScottsMiracle-Gro’s shared commitment to innovation and sustainability, delivering packaging solutions aimed at meeting the needs of today’s consumers while helping protect the planet for future generations.
