At BADER, sustainability isn’t just a promise – it’s deeply rooted in everything we do. Through our subsidiary AVEMA, we’ve developed GRETA pro, an innovative and fully biodegradable plant pot made from collagen fibers – a natural by-product of leather production.

GRETA Pro is designed for both professional growers and hobby gardeners, offering a sustainable alternative to conventional plastic pots. But it’s more than just a pot – it supports plant health by gradually releasing nutrients into the soil as it decomposes.

The foundation of GRETA pro is collagen fiber, a material left over from the leather manufacturing process. Rather than disposing of this high-potential substance, we repurpose it through a precise injection moulding process, shaping it into machine-compatible plant pots. These pots are robust during use, but once planted into the soil, they begin to biodegrade naturally, nourishing the plant in the process.

In this way, GRETA pro closes the loop – transforming waste into value, and feeding the earth instead of polluting it.

For us, GRETA pro is a symbol of circular economy in action. It’s proof that intelligent design and responsible resource use can go hand in hand – from leather production to the greenhouse, and back into the soil.

AVEMA is an essential part of our Zero Waste Journey, and GRETA pro marks another step toward a more sustainable future.
