Ecostore Competition Encourages Customers to Upcycle

Ecostore is running an ‘Upcycle and Plant to be in to win’ competition, asking families to upcycle ecostore containers into beautiful planter pots for New World Little Garden seedlings just in time for the school holidays. Three family experience vouchers are up for grabs that include educational tours, ziplining and sailing cruises, all supporting local businesses, each worth $499. 

“We want to encourage our green-fingered customers to get gardening with New World’s Little Garden. Upcycle any of our containers into a beautiful planter pot, plant your favourite New World Little Garden seedling in and lettuce know by entering the draw. The competition is open till mid-October, so get a twiggle on,” said Kathryn Avery, sustainability brand manager for ecostore. 

Ecostore packaging has been made from sugar plastic since 2014. As sugar cane grows, it removes carbon from the atmosphere. The company has prevented 7,676 tonnes (and counting) of carbon from being released. 

New World Little Garden seedlings are available in stores now with 24 vegetables and herbs to collect and grow. Customers can get a free seedling kit with every $40 they spend in-store or online.

To enter the ‘Upcycle and Plant and be in to win’ competition, customers just need to submit a photo of any upcycled ecostore planter to their website. The competition is open from September 20 to October 16, with winners announced on October 18.
