In Sweden, Oboya Horticulture Industries AB has signed an important and long-term cooperation agreement on environmentally friendly biomaterials with Gaia Biomaterials AB in Helsingborg, Sweden. The agreement means that Oboya uses Gaias biomaterials for the production and development of environmentally friendly cultivation products for the cultivation industry.

The cooperation agreement means that Oboya uses Gaias biomaterials in its production and that through Gaias expertise we can develop new environmentally friendly cultivation products. Gaias biomaterials are biodegradable, compostable and reduce up to 80% lower carbon dioxide emissions during combustion compared to conventional materials such as plastic and paper. The new environmentally friendly product concept includes everything from pots, packaging and trays to labels and will be launched in beginning of 2019. Oboya is aiming to grow in the environmentally friendly cultivation products segment, selling to several of Oboya’s home markets in Europe and China.
