Acme Group announces line of recyclable Agrifabrics and new PlugEase

The Acme Group announces its line of recyclable Agrifabrics and plant plug substrate, PlugEase. "ACME AG makes recycling and zero-landfill affordable for farmers, greenhouse owners and horticulturists on any scale." said Matt Utley, Director of Sales. "PlugEase is a USA produced seedling plug substrate material that has proven itself without peer when used in large-scale growing operations." Lowers the input cost of Greenhouse plug production any size, width and ready to ship.



A sample offering of Acme’s technical AG textiles include:
  • Ground Cover/Landscape Fabrics - Ideal for blocking moisture and repelling weeds
  • Plant Protection Cloth - Plant protection fabrics used in the early spring and late fall to extend the growing season in slightly inclement weather.
  • Erosion Control Fabrics - Erosion control fabrics provide soil stabilization and protection in a multitude of diverse environments
  • Winter Protection Textiles - protects your plants, annuals, and vegetables from severe cold, frost & freezing temperatures.
  • PlugEase - Plant Plug Textiles - Developed specifically for large-scale greenhouse operations in automated planting/germination systems.
All of the above products are completely recyclable or biodegradable. So, no worries about disposal or landfill fees. Acme specifically engineered all of their agricultural textiles to be a part of a cradle-to-cradle process that allows used material to be cleaned, recycled and made back into useable products.



"Now commercial growers are offered an alternative to putting their used textile waste in the ground,” added Utley. "Instead of heading to a landfill, the materials are recycled back into usable products." In a typical application, Acme will deliver the textiles to a grower, and set up a system to reclaim them when their usefulness is over. They set up a customized system to reclaim the textiles, and ship them back.

"PlugEase is a plug production substrate produced in the USA under strict ISO quality standards." Added Alan Rygiel - VP Ag Products. "PlugEase preserves the delicate plant mix by enhancing aeration, porosity and drainage – essential elements for high production greenhouses and farm environments. Air and water content of the plant mix is consistently sustained with the PlugEase substrate."
