WOOL_PLANT_POTS

An Alternative to Plastic Plant Pots

Wool Pots are knitted from washed wool… we know knitting plant pots sounds strange but we can assure you Wool Pots are strong, naturally biodegradable, environmentally friendly and plants love them.

Our aim is to raise the awareness of the plastic problem in horticulture and let people know there is an alternative. Huge damage is being done to our planet but people may not realise the scale of the problem we want to raise awareness and show them a solution.

We are proud members of the Campaign for Wool and are thrilled to be helping farmers find a new market for their wool.

  • Each Wool Pot used takes one plastic pot out of horticulture and helps the planet.

  • We have created a product which helps farmers, helps reduce the “mountain” of unwanted wool, protects plants and helps save the planet – not bad for a plant pot!

The Environment

Millions of plastic plant pots are sent to landfill every year because they can’t be recycled – 500 million in the UK alone. Just think of all the plastic pots you throw away 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.
