Material Composition | Outdoor/indoor gardening, long-term use | Industry: Basic plastic (PET) 0.5mm (ISO 3801) ▲ Our Base: UV-stabilized PVC 0.8mm (ASTM D4355) ▲ Our Advanced: Reinforced PVC 1.0mm (ASTM D4355 + ISO 3801 300GSM) | UV protection prevents degradation; thicker material resists cracking | Industry standard may yellow over time; Advanced version is heavier for small spaces |
Durability | High-traffic areas, frequent repotting | Industry: 1-year lifespan (ASTM D543) ▲ Our Base: 3-year durability (ASTM D543 50+ exposures) ▲ Our Advanced: 5-year durability (ASTM D543 100+ exposures) | Extended lifespan reduces replacement costs | Base version may crack after 3 years in harsh conditions |
UV Stabilization | Sunny outdoor climates | Industry: No UV protection (ASTM D4355 not applied) ▲ Our Base: UV-resistant coating (ASTM D4355 500 hours) ▲ Our Advanced: Enhanced UV coating (ASTM D4355 1000 hours) | Maintains color/structure in direct sunlight | Advanced requires more frequent cleaning to retain UV efficacy |
Biodegradability | Eco-conscious gardening | Industry: Non-biodegradable (ASTM D6400 not met) ▲ Our Base: Partially biodegradable (ASTM D6400 60%) ▲ Our Advanced: Fully biodegradable (ASTM D6400 100%) | Meets eco-friendly standards; reduces landfill waste | Advanced may degrade faster in compost piles (requires specific conditions) |
Drainage System | Moisture-sensitive plants | Industry: Standard drainage holes (ISO 2768) ▲ Our Base: Enhanced aeration pattern (ISO 2768 + 30% airflow) ▲ Our Advanced: Dual-layer drainage (ISO 2768 + 50% airflow) | Reduces root rot; promotes healthy growth | Advanced design may require more frequent soil maintenance |
Modular Design | Space-constrained gardens | Industry: Non-stackable (ASTM D6400 stacking not tested) ▲ Our Base: Stackable up to 3 units (ASTM D6400 200kg) ▲ Our Advanced: Stackable up to 5 units (ASTM D6400 500kg) | Maximizes vertical space; easy reconfiguration | Industry standard lacks flexibility for vertical gardening systems |
