Veteran-owned, US production in development
Reed & Ross turns water hyacinth, the weed choking US waterways, into mailers, seedling bags, produce liners, flower wrap, and custom parts, all biodegradable, all built to replace plastic. Built on a US supply chain, from a feedstock that pays to be removed.
Biodegradable replacements for plastic across shipping, agriculture, and fresh produce, plus custom parts built to your spec.
Planted straight into the ground with the seedling. No unwrapping, no plastic to pull off and bin. It is designed to decompose in about six months and return organic matter to the soil, a drop-in replacement for the plastic nursery bag.
Reforestation, nurseries & horticultureCourier-grade biodegradable mailers and parcel wrap for e-commerce, fulfilment, and logistics. A direct alternative to the plastic poly-mailer, sized to your products and printable with your brand. Moving into US pilot production.
E-commerce, courier & fulfilmentBiodegradable sheets that do two jobs. As carton liners, they help keep fruit and vegetables fresh over long-haul transport and reduce dependence on refrigeration, cutting cold-chain emissions. As flower and gift wrap, they perform like cellophane and look the part on the shelf. Both return to soil instead of landfill.
Produce, cold-chain, florists & retailHave a plastic part you want to replace? Bring us your existing component or CAD, and we will come back with a tooling plan, a prototype, and a price per unit. Made to your spec, rigid or flexible, with the same drop-in fit and a biodegradable end of life.
Brand-owners & manufacturersDesigned as a domestic supply chain, harvested, dried, and made in the United States. No ocean freight, no tariff exposure, no single overseas point of failure between you and your packaging.
Every unit is designed to pull invasive biomass out of US waterways and displace a petroleum-based product. Real numbers for your Scope 3 and diversion goals.
A veteran-owned small business, so the same purchase order advances your supplier-diversity commitments.
Built to do the job the plastic did, whether that is protecting a parcel, holding a seedling, or lining a produce carton. Sustainable is the feedstock, not a compromise on the product.
Water hyacinth is a federally listed invasive that mats over lakes and canals across the Gulf South, and states spend millions every year fighting it. Our model harvests it, dries it, and converts its fiber into packaging. The problem is the raw material.
Designed to recognized packaging standards, including ISTA transit testing for shipping products, with validation planned before first production.
Formulated to contain no intentionally added PFAS, for clean recyclability and compost.
General and product liability coverage in place before first delivery, with certificates at onboarding.
