Sipcam Home & Garden has announced that its pioneering ecofective® garden care Spray Pouch range has been recognized with a prestigious Environmental Packaging Award in the Household Goods category. The win celebrates innovation, sustainability, and meaningful change at shelf-level and beyond.
Launched in 2024, the ecofective® Spray Pouch range introduced a ground-breaking packaging concept never seen before in the garden care market: a flexible pouch paired with an integrated spray nozzle.
The Spray Pouches have proved to be very easy to use in a one-handed operation, offering both convenience and conscious consumption. By using up to 55% less plastic than conventional rigid bottles, ecofective® Spray Pouches provide gardeners with highly effective results, while dramatically reducing environmental impact.
The award-winning range includes four core formulations that reflect ecofective®’s promise of eco-friendly performance:
- Slug Stoppa – an eco-way to shield edible and non-edible plants from slugs and snails, without hurting them and the winner of the 2024 GIMA Sword of Excellence.
- Bug Stoppa – Physical control of a wide spectrum of pests including greenfly, blackfly, spider mite, and scale insect.
- Disease Stoppa – Shields plants from common diseases like powdery mildew by creating an invisible protective barrier.
- Rose Defender – Dual-action protection and nutrition for bright, healthy blooms, free from bugs and mildew.
ecofective® aims to bring to market products that not only provide effective solutions to common gardening problems but do so without negatively impacting the environment. All products are pesticide-free, wildlife friendly and safe for use around children and pets.
Beyond their environmental credentials, the spray pouches offer standout in-store presence. Their full-surface branding creates eye-catching, seamless packaging design, while their weather-proof construction allows for merchandising both indoors and in undercover outdoor spaces—ideal for secondary placements and link sales.
The accolade reinforces support for the ecofective® brand breaking the norm of plastic bottles and giving retailers a wonderful opportunity to support sustainable solutions.
