Ottawa, Kansas - This spring, Loma Vista Nursery launches a company wide “green initiative” with the goal of implementing more sustainable business practices. Spear heading their “green initiative” is Loma Vista Nursery’s Pot Return Program. This program encourages local customers to recycle their empty plastic container pots by returning them to Loma Vista in one of two ways. Loma Vista has set up collection bins at their Landscape Distribution Center in Olathe, KS for customers to drop off empty container pots during normal hours of operation.
In addition to the drop off location, Loma Vista Nursery offers a collection service to select local customers. To date, the participating businesses include Kokopelli Nursery, Curby’s Lawn and Garden, and Northstar Garden Center.
The majority of containers collected will be reused. Those that aren’t will be recycled. Loma Vista has joined forces with a company that collects their unusable container pots and their used greenhouse plastic and turns it into usable plastic for various items.
Loma Vista’s commitment doesn’t end at plastics. They have put into practice a company wide recycling program that includes recycling of paper products, cardboard, and aluminum in addition to plastics.
Loma Vista Nursery is a wholesale nursery specializing in high quality, cold hardy plant material. They produce containerized plants and field grown trees for retailers, wholesale distributors, and landscapers across the Midwest.
