A bottle for adaptive reuse includes a bottle body defining an open interior configured to hold a substance therein. A chamber is formed into the bottle body at least in part by a wall between the open interior and the chamber. The chamber is selectively isolated from the open interior of the bottle. A sealing plate at least partially defines the chamber and an outer surface of the bottle. A threaded structure secures the sealing plate to the bottle body.

A die cut tray insert is provided including a first face and a second face, opposite and parallel to the first face; first and second assemblies secured at one end to one of the first and second faces and configured to swing between an open position and a closed position such that a pot associated with the live sample is secured on two sides; and a third face and a fourth face, perpendicular to the first and second faces and opposite and parallel to one another, the third face configured to cover a top portion of the pot associated with the live sample and the fourth face configured to contain the pot within the first, second and third faces. The third face covering the top portion of the pot is configured to reduce spillage from the pot when the first and second assemblies are in a closed position.

This invention is a unique and novel shipping frame for nursery plants, that is made from a water-resistant recycled paper composite material. The frame allows for supporting one or more shelves and is attached to a base. The one or more shelves and base are capable of holding the plants during shipment to insure the plants are not damaged. After shipment is completed, the frame may be reused or disposed of accordingly.

A packaging bag as an agricultural container has a film which forms a partition separating a housing space which houses agricultural products such as fruits and vegetables from an external space. The packaging bag includes a CA film and a porous film. The CA film contains cellulose acylate having an acyl group substitution degree of 2.00 to 2.97. The porous film is formed such that a plurality of pores having an average pore size of 0.0050 m to 5.0 m penetrate the film in a thickness direction.

A method for shipping live plants that require illumination during shipping including steps of selecting an illuminated shipping container that includes a lower pot configured to hold soil and a plant, and an upper lid with pendent side wall and an upper closed end made of material that allows light from an illuminating light source attached to its upper closed end. Soil is placed into the lower pot and a light requiring plant in embedded in the soil with the stem, branches, and leaves extending above the soil. Next, an elastic seal is places around the stem of the plant and pressed against the soil to hold the soil in the pot during shipment. Next, the lower edge of the upper lid is attached to the upper edge of the lower pot. A tamper resistant indicator then disposed between the pot and lid. Next, the illuminating source is activated. The shipping container containing the plant is then shipped to the desired destination.
