The jury report for Millvision BV (NL), Leon Joore,  Biocomposite with Agro Rest Fibers:

'The flower pots made from agro rest fibres and bio-based plastics are price competitive and can be used pots for tree nurseries and raising flowers. They are are cold soil biodegradable (within several months) when placed in the ground. This new pot acts as fertilizer, improves plant growth and prevents plastic waste from oil based containers.'
