Where to Get Eco-Friendly Containers For Soil Sampling

Collecting soil samples for testing requires reliable containers your lab can trust without fear of contamination. According to AWSM Farming:

“Soil sampling is the process of taking a small sample of soil, which is then sent to a lab to determine the nutrient content. The soil can also be tested for the chemical, physical and biological properties, which are critical to plant nutrition.”

This is important because soil sampling helps determines the available nutrients within that soil and can help farmers in determining what nutrients they will need for their crops. Determining the levels of nutrients in soil can be highly dependent on whether the samples are taken in a controlled environment. This is why it is important to have reliable soil sampling containers that can keep the samples safe from outside variables.

Sustainable Containers for Soil Sampling

Soil sampling jars can come in various sizes and be made of different materials. What is most important is that the jar is able to prevent anything from getting in or out once it has been sealed. This includes maintaining the normal moisture levels of the soil and preventing contamination. Earthwise Packaging’s sustainable screw-top jars are perfect for this because each one has an airtight and watertight lid.

Each one of Earthwise Packaging’s lids also has the option of a foil seal attachment for even further protection.

Plant-Based HDPE Containers

Each one of Earthwise Packaging’s containers is made from high-density polyethylene derived from plant-based resources. In particular, our BioMax material is made from the ethanol found in sugarcane. This is great because it is a renewable resource that actually takes carbon out of the atmosphere versus putting more into it.
