The Green Dream range of bonsai tree fertilisers has been a mainstay of the UK bonsai hobby since Colin Lewis introduced the Original product way back in the 1990s. As we expanded the range our primary concern was always the products integrity, value and environmental credentials. To that end we have now changed the packaging for the larger units. Previously packaged in plastic buckets we have now gone to a purpose designed unbleached corrugated cardboard that has a large proportion of recycled material and is easily 100% recyclable pretty much everywhere. Believe it or not this has cost us slightly more than the old plastic buckets (price has remained unchanged) but it has reduced our plastic output by approximately a tonne every year. The product is contained within a light weight re-sealable bag within the box thus maintaining the packages convenience and storage ability.
We do appreciate this may not be to everyone’s liking but we believe it’s important we all do our bit to help keep our wonderful world clean and tidy.

I still have a bucket of GD to hand. What you’ve proposed is very responsible and praiseworthy. I know it may not suit everyone, but I also noticed that the fat balls used for bird food all still come in these buckets, albeit translucent rather than white. It may not solve the problem across the board, but people could always save a “bird bucket” if no old Kaizen containers are about, and keep the GD bag(s) in there; they last forever, and avoids pointless repetition of containers (I have no idea who makes the bird food containers or if they too will be phased out soon as well.).
Just like the new coffee refill packets. I have my current plastic tubs, when I order My next load of fertiliser from you I can just empty it into my existing bucket. Very cool I support the reduction of single use plastic whole heartedly. A very conscientious step forward.
