Molded for Success

摘要

Begun in 1998, the Missouri Botanical Garden Plastic Pot Recycling Program has collected and recycled more than 300 tons of plant containers and trays that would have ended up in landfills. When plant pathologist Dr. Steven Cline became horticulturaleducator and manager of the Missouri Botanical Garden William T. Kemper Center for Home Gardening in 1989, he couldn't have imagined that only a decade later he would play a major role in developing a pilot program that has recycled more than 300 tons of horticultural plastic in metropolitan St. Louis.
