Greenhouse Goes Greener with NEW Green Carrying Idea

VERONA, Ky. - April 16, 2013 - PRLog -- Sun Sugar Farms announced today that their Convenience CRESBI crates will be sold by Baeten’s Nursery & Greenhouses, one of the oldest and largest family-owned nurseries in Northern Kentucky.

“One of our employees first started using CRESBI crates for grocery shopping,” explains Todd Baeten of Baeten’s Nursery & Greenhouses, “we like that a CRESBI crate helps customers keep their plants and flowers upright and safe for the ride home.  And even though we do offer cardboard boxes to carry plants home in, if all customers used these it would definitely help out the bottom line and avoid the hassle of recycling.  It’s a green idea we wanted to make available for our customers.”

CRESBI® crates stack when opened or collapsed but are unique from other crates because they are paired with straps, bags, coolers, or a bigger crate to create a CRESBI system. They’re dishwasher-safe and one Convenience CRESBI crate can replace up to 6 plastic grocery bags.

“We love having a “green” business as a reseller,” says CRESBI crate creator and Sun Sugar Farms owner, Linda Fritz. “During our design research one of the first potential uses that came up was at a grocery when a checker was cutting out paper bags for a customer to carry their plants home in.  We’ve also sold CRESBI crates to ESPN’s video library, TVA’s biology department, and a nonprofit in California ordered 100 of the Convenience CRESBI crates for their Meals on Wheels volunteers.  It’s great to see all these companies using a green alternative and we know Baeten’s customers are going to enjoy the durability and versatility of a CRESBI crate.”

Although it was cost-prohibitive to manufacture the crates in U.S.A., all other parts of the CRESBI® crate systems are made in America. Fritz’s company also sells other reusable green products like dishwasher-safe Eco-Takeout® To-Go Boxes and Bunch Bags® Produce Bags.  A demo video is at www.cresbi.com.
