EnviroGuard: Practical, Sustainable, and Designed for Success
At Earth to Earth, we are committed to providing solutions that not only benefit the environment but also make planting projects more efficient. One of our key innovations, EnviroGuard, has been designed with both practicality and sustainability in mind, making it the ideal choice for native restoration projects and large-scale plantings.
Faster Installation, Smarter Design
One of the most common frustrations with traditional plant guards is the time-consuming assembly required before they can be used. EnviroGuard eliminates this hassle with a ready-to-use design, significantly reducing the labour required for installation. This means planters spend less time struggling with fiddly, complicated guards and more time getting plants in the ground. For project funders and contractors, this translates into significant cost savings, ensuring resources are spent where they matter most.
Protection That Works
Young plants face numerous threats in the field, from pests to accidental chemical exposure. EnviroGuard provides comprehensive protection against:
Pūkeko, hares, rabbits, and other grazing animals, preventing them from damaging delicate seedlings.
Chemical sprays, acting as a physical barrier to safeguard plants from unintended herbicide exposure.
Harsh environmental conditions, reducing the risk of wind and sun damage during early establishment.
Additionally, the white interior of the guard reflects light downwards, encouraging strong, healthy plant growth by maximising available sunlight.
A Sustainable Alternative to Plastic
Many traditional plant guards are made from plastic, which contributes to long-term environmental waste. Even so-called ‘recyclable’ plastic guards often require special collection and processing, making them less practical in remote restoration sites.
EnviroGuard is different. It is:
Biodegradable – It naturally breaks down over time, leaving no trace behind.
Compostable – Safe for the environment, returning to the earth without harm.
Recyclable – If removal is required, it can be disposed of through standard cardboard recycling systems.
Made in New Zealand – Produced locally using NZ-sourced cardboard, reducing carbon emissions from transportation.
By choosing EnviroGuard, you’re investing in a solution that not only protects plants but also supports a circular economy where materials return to the earth rather than polluting it.
Custom Branding for Maximum Impact
We’re also backing brands that are making a difference. We offer the option to print your logo on EnviroGuard, allowing businesses, councils, and organisations to visibly demonstrate their commitment to sustainability. Whether you’re funding a restoration project or implementing sustainable initiatives, branded EnviroGuard guards make it clear that your organisation is taking real action to protect the environment.
Always Improving, Always Listening
At Earth to Earth, we are constantly working to improve EnviroGuard based on real-world feedback from our clients. We listen, refine, and develop our products to ensure they meet the needs of planters, installers, and environmental organisations. By collaborating with those on the ground, we continue to push for better solutions that balance efficiency, protection, and sustainability.
