In a forward-thinking move that blends sustainability with consumer-centric design, ScottsMiracle-Gro and ProAmpac have introduced a groundbreaking packaging innovation for Ortho Home Defense Max. The two industry leaders have collaborated to develop a spouted pouch that redefines how pest control products are delivered offering a flexible, efficient, and eco-conscious alternative to traditional rigid containers.
The new packaging, which looks set to make waves in the lawn and garden category, combines the strength and reliability of rigid packaging with the lightweight, minimal waste benefits of flexible formats. The spouted pouch not only slashes plastic use by up to 90%, but also enhances user experience by allowing consumers to refill their existing dispensing systems with ease rather than replacing them entirely.
“Our goal was to meet rising sustainability targets while maintaining the performance and convenience consumers expect,” said Isha Labhasetwar, product development manager at ProAmpac. “This solution does exactly that, and more it optimizes e-commerce shipping and reduces the product’s environmental footprint.”
Engineered using ProAmpac’s advanced chemical- and UV-resistant laminates, the pouch ensures durability, product integrity, and long shelf life. For ScottsMiracle-Gro, this step marks a pivotal shift in aligning their trusted products with the growing demand for planet-friendly packaging.
Keith Miller, senior packaging engineer at ScottsMiracle-Gro, added: “This new packaging is a win on all fronts. It’s lighter, greener, easier to handle, and helps reduce waste in a meaningful way. We’re proud to bring this level of innovation to our customers.”
The Ortho Home Defense Max spouted pouch is being hailed as a new benchmark in sustainable packaging for home and garden care proving that less waste can indeed deliver more impact.
