Why does elho make pots made of plastic?
Quality is very important to us and plastic is a very durable material. This ensures that you can enjoy your elho pot for a long time. Plastic has many advantages: it withstands freezing temperatures, it is lightweight, and our plastic pots retain their colour year after year! However, we also believe that sustainable business is very important. That’s why we produce as sustainably as possible, and we have succeeded in creating our entire collection from 100% recycled plastic.
We’re very proud of this. Day in, day out, we’re looking for new, even more, sustainable solutions to create products that make your life a little greener.
What exactly does elho recycle to produce pots?
The most important raw material is the plastic used by various companies that ends up as unused waste from their production processes. We think that’s a shame! Think of all the waste that comes from producing diapers, contact lenses, but also cultivation pots and various types of food packaging. Our raw materials also include the elho pots that roll off the conveyor belt when machines are started up or with colour changes.
Fun fact: this is almost 12,000,000 kilos of plastic per year.
