Method of Manufacturing a Plant Receptacle as well as a Plant Receptacle

A method of manufacturing a plant receptacle wherein the following steps are performed:

• a) A mix of fibres containing a first type of fibre in an amount from 25% to 75% of a monofilament PLA based fibre and a second type of fibre in an amount from 25% to 75% of a fibre made from a PLA thread covered with a flexible aliphatic polyester, said flexible aliphatic polyester comprising 10 wt % to 90 wt % organic material, such that the flexible aliphatic polyester covers the PLA thread, thereby creating a weldable biodegradable thread, said first and second types of fibres adding up to 100% of the mix;
• b) using said mix of fibres in a woven or non-woven process, making a permeable sheet material;
• c) continuously forming said sheet material into a continuous receptacle, by bringing the side edges of said sheet material into contact and welding said side edges together;
• d) cutting said continuous receptacle in predetermined lengths thereby creating separate plant receptacles or wherein said continuous receptacle is perforated substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the continuous receptacle at predetermined intervals, thereby allowing separate plant receptacles to be detached from the continuous receptacle.
