Not bad for a plant pot!

  • Our Wool Pots are made from
    ‘unloved’ wool that would otherwise be discarded, burned, or buried

  • Wool Pots come with minimal
    packaging, a small length of
    yarn secures each bundle of 10 pots accompanied by a small card label with instructions

  • Wool is a natural material, whereas every 1kg of plastic manufactured produces 6kg of CO2

  • We have created a plant pot that supports farmers, reduces the mountain of unwanted wool, protects plants, and benefits the planet, not bad for a plant pot!

The Plastic Problem

500 million plastic plant pots are sent to landfill in the UK every year, a further 500 million are incinerated each year. Just think of all the plastic pots you throw away or are piling up in your shed without a thought to where they will end up.
Black plastic pots containing carbon inks can take up to 450 years to degrade. They might be cheap to buy but if they end up in landfill they will cause damage for centuries to come, it’s like burying a time bomb for future generations.
Unlike biodegradable materials, plastic does not return nutrients to the soil, it contributes to microplastic pollution and affects wildlife and ecosystems. The creation of plastic pots relies on fossil fuels and adds to carbon emissions.
