The companies Cuidatree, from the Science Park of the Miguel Hernández University of Elche, and Hinojosa have presented a compostable seedling pot, made of cellulose with a 100% BIO coating, at the Fruit Attraction 2026 fair in Madrid.

This innovative solution for agriculture and reforestation has undergone testing under cultivation conditions, demonstrating structural stability for up to seven months. The plastic-free seedling pot simplifies fieldwork by being buried at planting time, where it biodegrades and integrates into the soil until it disappears.
The presentation at Fruit Attraction allowed the PCUMH firm to gain visibility for its products among a specialized professional audience, connect with potential clients and distributors, and explore new business opportunities, reinforcing its market position.
This development underscores the commitment of Cuidatree and Hinojosa to product innovation, responding to market needs in a European context of increasing demands for circularity and reduced environmental impact. The collaboration has provided the necessary expertise to drive transformative innovation in the agricultural sector.
Cuidatree was founded with the aim of creating eco-friendly solutions to protect plantations and reforestation efforts, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional plastic protectors and avoiding the generation of environmentally harmful waste.
