Slug Stoppa New Products & POS
At the GIMA Awards 2024, Sipcam Home & Garden proudly secured the prestigious GIMA Sword of Excellence for the second consecutive year, with ecofective® Slug Stoppa taking home the crown.
In addition to winning the Garden Care category and the Sword of Excellence, Sipcam Home & Garden was also recognised as the ‘Sustainability Category Champion’ in the Garden Care category for their Organic Superfood Concentrated Liquid Feeds.
Adding to this success, Slug Stoppa made waves at Glee Birmingham’s New Product Showcase in September 2024, winning the ‘Growing Materials’ category and achieving the ultimate accolade of ‘Overall Best New Product’. These achievements highlight Sipcam’s dedication to innovation and sustainable garden care solutions.
True innovation
Slug Stoppa is a new eco way to shield edible and non-edible plants from slugs and snails, without hurting them whilst also containing nutrients to enhance and promote plant growth. Not only this, but the pouch packaging has also up to 55% less plastic than a conventional plastic spray bottle. This new packaging consumes less energy throughout its entire lifecycle and less plastic material used also results in less waste to collect, sort, and recycle. The GIMA judging panel commended Slug Stoppa stating “The choice was simple. True innovation, and a dual-purpose product.”
Using a brand-new formula, Slug Stoppa is a spray that creates an invisible barrier onto plants. The barrier makes the plant significantly less palatable for slugs and snails, so they move away to feed elsewhere. When sprayed onto plants the pesticide-free, child & pet safe, ready-to-use spray gives the plant an ability to withstand slugs or snails whilst ensuring they are all unharmed and that natural predators such as hedgehogs, amphibians butterflies, bees and birds are safe to feed in the garden.
Meeting consumer demand perfectly, Slug Stoppa is also a joy to use with the ergonomically designed ‘thumb pump’ trigger. The design of the trigger results in a seamless one-handed spray functionality that can be used when there are the first signs of slug and snail damage in the garden.
In 2025, gardeners can re-use their Slug Stoppa trigger by purchasing the new Slug Stoppa Replacement Pouch, which attaches to the existing trigger, saving the user £1 when compared to buying a brand-new spray pouch. In an industry first, the ecofective® range is taking a leap forward to flexible pouch packaging, breaking the norm of plastic bottles and giving retailers a wonderful opportunity to support sustainable solutions.
