We’ve all been shocked by the amount of plastic floating around our planet especially since the recent TV series ‘Blue Planet 2’. As a result it’s made us think again about plastic products. Plastic Bottles, Pots and more were already on our agenda for reductions and lowering impact. Our aim is to leave as little damaging impact on this world a possible and maximizing the amount of plants planted in this region by us and especially you, our customers.

We are delighted to be recognised by Plastic Free Dronfield for our reductions so far in single use plastics in the business & products.

Plants

All black plant pots are made from recycled plastic and soon other coloured pots can be collected for recycling plus the labels too

We want our customers to enjoy their plants without the guilt associated with single use plastics. The great news is that for many years now ALL the black plastic pots that you take home with your outdoor plants have already been recycled once in their lives. Who’d of thought the boring black pot may once have been a coat hanger, a bottle, or a piece of packaging.

And the good news just keeps coming. Starting this spring a nationwide pot recycling scheme is being launched that garden centres can join to recycle pots and many of the plant carrying trays for reprocessing into other products. You can bring your old pots back for recycling. We will publish the symbols to look for for recycling in the next few weeks.

Remember that plants have such a big impact on air cleanliness and carbon dioxide up take. Plant as many as you can.

Pots for your Garden

Elho pots offer a range of coloured plastic pots which are made from completely recycled plastic. Look for the Elho Green Basic range in the garden centre.
