Said Eric Lang, President of ZipGrow Inc.. "We are thrilled to partner with Growfoam to support mutual efforts towards a greener future and to fulfill community demand for fresh healthy produce free of contaminants and pesticides."

Growfoam plugs are produced from polymers and natural additives, with no microplastics or PFA's, they are TUV Industrial Composting Certified, clean and free of pathogens.

"We are super excited to partner up with Zipgrow Inc. and make our foam substrate available to their customers," said Martin Tietema, CEO Growfoam. "We both share the same vision on healthy, sustainable and plentiful food and Growfoam is eager to make this partnership work."

Over the past six months, members of the ZipGrow Inc. Research and Development team have rigorously tested the performance of Growfoam plugs in ZipGrow Towers with a variety of crops.

"As we continue to build new innovations and expand our portfolio, all-around sustainability must be top of mind," continues Lang.
