The company's specialists believe that the Styrofoam is ideal for agriculture. It is durable and lightweight, so it is extremely convenient in the mass production of greens.

Despite the fact that the design of the tray looks simple, it is carefully designed: the diameter of the drainage holes does not allow you to sink roots, and at the same time ensures removal of excess moisture. Carefully controlled and the raw material itself: for the production of trays only fit small beads, due to which the walls of the pan get thick and, therefore, the roots of the plants do not germinate in the cassette.

Furthermore, trays made of polystyrene foam can be used many times, reducing the cost of growing lettuce and protecting the environment.

"The European division of KNAUF Industries produce containers for growing greens for many years, so when producing a new product in Russia took into account the experience of European colleagues. We are glad that fresh and healthy greens is becoming more accessible thanks to technology "KNAUF Penoplast", — said the head of "Packaging" Natalia Altukhova.
