Kelmar Creations Introduces Ecotainable® Line of
Fully Renewable and Sustainable Bioresin Containers for Nursery Industry

Renewable Container RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. – July 8, 2008 – Kelmar Creations has introduced the Ecotainable® line of grower containers, packs and trays. Made from all bioresin materials, the new line is fully sustainable and renewable and marks a major break-through towards providing green, environmentally friendly and economically viable products for the nursery industry. In conjunction with the announcement, Kelmar has named Summit Plastic Company (Tallmadge, Ohio) and T&R Company (Rancho Cucamonga, California) as key partners for manufacturing and distribution, and has also appointed Rick Baldini as President of Kelmar Creations.

Ecotainable® products are completely compatible with existing automated equipment that currently process oil based plastic containers. The new line includes Ecotainers® and Ecopacks® in a variety of sizes, shapes and colors, and can be custom-imprinted per customer requirements. These products are made from renewable resins that are ecologically sound substitutes for petroleum-based plastic products. Resins are starch-based, made from wheat, tapioca, potato starches, and corn, and meet the new federal procurement guidelines for bio-based content enacted by the United States Department of Agriculture. Pricing is also cost-competitive with traditional plastic greenhouse products.

Phil Guardia, founder and CEO of Kelmar Creations says, “our goal is to be at the forefront for producing environmentally responsible and economically viable products that maximize sustainability. The Ecotainable® line meets these goals and provides the cutting-edge green technology needed for the nursery industry while at the same time meeting increasing consumer demand for green, economical products.”

Kelmar Creations President Rick Baldini commented, “I am very excited to be part of Kelmar Creations especially with the new sustainable bio-resin technology that is at the core of the Ecotainable® product line. The company truly embraces the “green” triple bottom line concept of measuring success in terms of environmental, social, and economic impact.”
