Abstract: Apparatus is provided for biodegradable containers with seeds that can be germinated, wherein the seeds are included in or enclosed in the material of the biodegradable container, or wherein the seeds are included in or enclosed in a biodegradable element of a container. The apparatus presented comprises a container disposed to contain its primary contents. The container may be biodegradable, or may comprise an element which is biodegradable, whether or not the remainder of the container is biodegradable. The container, and/or the element of the container, is disposed to include or enclose one or more seeds, providing a container or element which may be planted and grow a plant, and not placed into the waste stream. The present invention solves problems with the currently available means and apparatuses of containers, biodegrading, and management of the waste stream.
