Provided is an expandable, modular tower planter having an internal vertical composting capability, and a method of assembling and using the same. Provided in various example embodiments is a modular composting garden container system comprising a base and a plurality of stackable rings forming a tower upon the base, including an optional base ring specially sized, shaped, and positioned to connect the tower to the base. A plurality of perforated, stackable tube sections are provided that are removably assembled into a compost tube assembly of selectable height and mounted within the interior of the tower and above the base. A plurality of holding struts are sized, shaped, and positioned to removably connect the compost tube assembly with the tower and to securely locate the compost tube assembly relative to the tower. Means are provided for recovering nutrient-rich drainage and selective recovery of compost material for reintroduction into the system.

A tip-resistant cup with handle having at least three external extended legs that prevent tip-overs. The external legs extend down to the surface the cup being placed on to provide support from three different directions. In addition, any of the legs can be used has a handle. Cups of the present invention can be stacked like other cups by simply rotating the position of the legs. The cup of the present invention can also have a curved lip to further prevent spilling when the user is drinking.

A stackable transport and storage container includes a bottom, two side walls, two end-face walls, and inner partitions and/or a container cover. The inner partitions and/or a container cover can be detachably fastened to the container without the aid of tools and additional fastening elements. In the storage and transport container, the side walls and the end-face walls comprise folded-over edges, above which stacking profiles which are open at the bottom can be placed. The connecting piece of the stacking profile, which piece forms the stacking support, has profiling in the form of a keder holder into which a pull-in keder, having a keder core and a keder flap, can be inserted. Partitions for receiving transport and storage parts and/or the protective cover are fastened to at least one keder flap.

Described herein are various coupling systems to be used with storage units that are selectively coupled and decoupled. The coupling systems may be used with storage units that are stackable and/or transportable, thus allowing the storage units to function well within a large stationary environment, such as a basement, and also for a subset of the storage units to be selected and easily moved to another location.

Container for the packaging and transport of horticultural products, the container being made up of a body comprising a bottom, a pair of larger walls and a pair of smaller walls also comprising on its upper edge a flange that protrudes to the outer faces of all the walls of the container forming a surface for the application of a sealing film. A method of applying a sealing film to said container is also proposed.

A container having interlocking features is provided. The container includes protrusions on the upper edges of the side wall panels and base wall panels, and notches in the runners/feet for receiving the protrusions. The runners and/or feet extend to the outer perimeter of the container so they can rest on an upper edge of a like container, and do not include a recess from the outer perimeter.

An erectable-type container having excellent durability is provided.

The container 1 includes a bottom part 11, a side part 12 forming a box-shaped storage la with the bottom part 11, and a cross section appearing on a periphery 11a of the bottom part 11 is sealed with an insoluble sealing material which prevents moisture infiltration, and the side part 12 is adhered to the bottom part 11 by adhesive or the sealing material interposed between the cross section appearing on the periphery 11a of the bottom part 11. Further, the bottom part 11 is circular; and the side part is annular. Furthermore, the side part 12 is formed by engaging a belt-shaped body having an engagement protrusion 121 on one end and an engagement recess 122 on another end.

Disposable containers with a tamper indicative hatch for sample removal, methods of manufacturing and using the same are described; the containers are configured with a closure essentially obstructing the hatch, so that upon opening the hatch, the container bears a visually apparent indication that the closure has been subjected to tampering and opening.

A tray includes a base. A first pair of opposing walls extend upwardly from the base. A second pair of opposing walls extend upwardly from the base. At least one high stack indicia and at least one low stack indicia are located on at least one of the first pair of walls and the second pair of walls.

A block stacking arrangement that includes a plurality of container receiving slots; a loading space arranged in the direction of gravity below the container receiving slots; a pass-through opening between each of the container receiving slots and the loading space; and a holding device at the pass-through opening, which has at least one holding pawl that is pivotable between a holding position and a release position. The holding pawl has a cutout that, in the holding position, is directed into the pass-through opening.
