Agricard

At Elburg-Smit, we constantly strive for innovation to reduce our environmental impact.

We are proud to introduce AgriCard, a sustainable alternative to packaging materials, including our SmartCups®. AgriCard, made from 100% agricultural waste such as post-harvest stems and leaves, transforms agricultural residual material into a valuable and fully circular product.

Why choose AgriCard:

  • CO2 neutral: Minimises environmental impact during production.
  • Compostable: Both home and industrial, degradable within three months.
  • Recyclable: Easily recyclable with plain old paper.
  • Durable and Sturdy: Water- and moisture-resistant, perfect for various applications including our SmartCups®.
  • Natural look: The material has a natural light brown colour that emphasises its eco-friendly character.

With AgriCard, you don't just choose a visually attractive product. AgriCard shows that sustainability and quality can go hand in hand, without compromise.

From material to product

For Hoogeveen Plants of Hazerswoude-Dorp, a distinctive offering is not just a matter of plants and presentation. Sustainability also plays an increasingly important role.
 
A notable addition to the range of products is the AgriCard SmartCup® in the Joe Bio line. The AgriCard SmartCups® in which the fruit bushes are presented at retail are made from agricultural waste and fully home compostable. Indeed, the bushes can be planted with SmartCup® and all.
 
In collaboration with Bob Hoogerdijk, Elburg-Smit was the first to develop and bring this innovative packaging to market.
