Machines for producing paper pots (PaperPot)
The complete INNOVATECH equipment range for making biodegradable paper pots (plugs), filling them with substrate, sowing seeds and arranging them into trays — from compact machines to fully automated lines.
Advantages of paper pots
100% biodegradable
The pot fully decomposes in the soil within 3–6 months. Plant straight into the ground — no plastic trays, disposal or waste.
Transplanting without stress
The plant is set out together with its pot, so the root system stays intact. Survival rate is close to 100%, with no seedling losses.
Healthy root system
Air root pruning prevents roots from spiralling and builds a strong, fibrous root system before the plant is ever transplanted.
Earlier, even harvest
Seedlings start growing right after planting and develop uniformly — reaching marketable produce sooner.
Labour savings
Automatic forming, substrate filling and planting together with the pot speed up planting work several times over.

1Frequently asked questions
- What is PaperPot?
- A method of growing in biodegradable paper pots. The pot is not removed at planting — it breaks down in the soil, the root system is not disturbed and establishment rates are higher.
- What does a PaperPot line consist of?
- A pot-making machine, a tray-arranging unit, a substrate filler and a sowing unit. You can take individual machines or a fully automated line.
- Which crops is the technology suitable for?
- Primarily containerized forestry planting stock, and also vegetable and flower seedlings where establishment after planting matters.
