The Brand

Leading Suppliers in Eco-Friendly Long-Life Propagation Trays

Established by David Meek – with over four decades in the plastics industry – Containerwise Materials Handling in Doncaster, South Yorkshire have become a leading supplier in the long-life propagation tray market. A family-run business, with David’s daughter Emma joining the company in 2017.

Traditionally supplying the commercial propagator market, Containerwise has seen surging interest from amateur growers including home gardeners, allotment holders, and hobbyists – driven in large part by their partnership with the world’s most prominent no-dig and organic growing advocates.

A general move away from single-use plastics has further cemented their position – because unlike cheap thin-plastic trays that crack and disintegrate within a season or two, Containerwise trays are built to last a decade and more.
