Mzuri Green Tags are an innovative and eco-friendly alternative to conventional plastic conference tags. Made from sustainable sugarcane bagasse paper, each tag is impregnated with BSF frass fertilizer and contains a pre-treated seed from an indigenous tree.
After an event, attendees can plant their tags by following simple care instructions accessed using the scan code on the back side to grow their tree. This unique product reduces plastic waste and contributes to reforestation efforts and environmental restoration. BSF frass fertilizer enhances seed germination and provides essential nutrients for growth.
By replacing single-use plastics and promoting tree planting, Green Tags allow us to actively reduce our carbon footprint and support the global fight against climate change. This initiative symbolizes our commitment to sustainability, offering a tangible way for individuals to make a lasting positive impact on the environment.
Instructions for Planting Your Green Tag:
Gently tear your Green Tag into small pieces. Ensure the pieces are not too large, as this helps the seed absorb water more easily.
Place the torn pieces into a small container with a handful of nutrient-rich soil. Mix the paper pieces well with the soil to ensure even distribution.
Add a small amount of water to the container, enough to make the soil and paper mixture damp but not soggy. Avoid overwatering.
Once the mixture is ready, place the container in a cool, dark spot for 3 to 4 weeks. This dark environment helps with germination.
After 3 to 4 weeks, check if the seed has sprouted. Once the seedling emerges, move the container to a well-lit area, such as near a window or outside in indirect sunlight.
Continue watering lightly every few days, keeping the soil moist but not overly wet, for another 6 weeks.
After 6 weeks of growth, your seedling will be strong enough for transplanting. Choose a spot outdoors with sufficient sunlight, dig a small hole, and transfer the seedling carefully. Cover the roots with soil, water the plant, and watch it grow into a beautiful tree!
