Illuminate your home by using UPCYCLED-HANDCRAFTED eco Planters Small. The planter will embrace your favourite indoor plants in chic style. You can either directly plant with soil or use it as a cover for the pots. A built-in drainage hole protects it from overwatering and places it on a plate so that the excess water is collected.
Alternatively, you can also use the planters as organiser baskets, either use to keep towels in the bathroom or magazines in the living room or kid’s toys and stationeries. There are endless possibilities!
- 450Colour: Multicolored
- Dimensions: 5.5” height, 4.5” x 4.5” base
- Product Details: UPCYCLED-HANDCRAFTED fabric is made from waste plastic outside, waste flex banners inside, and a small hole at the bottom for extra water to seep out.
Attention: For best results, pour very little water into the plant in the planters, just enough to keep the soil moist! Besides, use a layer of moss at the base of the grow pot, and then add soil on top.
Usage and Care
Upcycled products are a great choice as your go-to everyday options. You can prolong the life of the products more by following some of our tips below.
- Spot clean only. Color may bleed if washed with others.
- Do not store or dry in direct sunlight.
- Keep away from extreme heat i.e., Dryers, Heaters, Iron etc.
- When not in use, kindly keep the respective product stuffed with newspapers to maintain its shape and store in the original packing it came in.
Natural Fibers: Natural fibers like bamboo, hemp, or jute are commonly used in eco-friendly products. These materials are renewable, biodegradable, and require less energy and water to produce compared to synthetic materials.
- Bamboo: Bamboo grows quickly, absorbs large amounts of CO2, and does not require pesticides or fertilizers. A study published in the journal Science of the Total Environment highlights bamboo's potential in carbon sequestration and sustainability .
- Hemp: Hemp is a versatile plant that grows rapidly and improves soil health. It has a lower environmental impact than cotton and synthetic fibers. The Journal of Industrial Hemp provides evidence of hemp's environmental benefits and sustainable properties .
Energy-Efficient Manufacturing
Advanced Manufacturing Techniques: Innovative techniques such as 3D printing and additive manufacturing can reduce waste and energy consumption in the production process.
- 3D Printing: 3D printing allows for precise material usage, reducing waste and energy consumption. A report in Energy Policy discusses the energy efficiency of additive manufacturing compared to traditional methods .
- Green Manufacturing Practices: Implementing green manufacturing practices, such as using eco-friendly lubricants and solvents, can further reduce the environmental impact. The Journal of Cleaner Production highlights the benefits of green manufacturing processes .
Transportation
Eco-Friendly Packaging: Using lightweight, recyclable, or biodegradable packaging materials reduces the weight and volume of shipments, leading to lower transportation emissions.
- Biodegradable Packaging: Biodegradable packaging materials can significantly reduce waste and pollution. The Journal of Environmental Management provides insights into the environmental benefits of biodegradable packaging .
- Reduced Packaging: Minimizing packaging and using compact designs can decrease transportation emissions. A study in the Journal of Industrial Ecology discusses the environmental benefits of reducing packaging waste .
Product Lifecycle
Modular and Repairable Design: Products designed for easy disassembly and repair extend their lifespan and reduce the need for replacements.
- Modular Design: Modular products allow consumers to replace or upgrade individual components instead of the entire product, reducing waste. The International Journal of Sustainable Engineering explores the environmental benefits of modular design .
- Repairability: Products designed for easy repair can have a longer lifespan, decreasing the demand for new products and conserving resources. The Journal of Industrial Ecology highlights the importance of repairability in sustainable product design .
End-of-Life Disposal
Closed-Loop Recycling: Closed-loop recycling systems ensure that materials are continuously reused, minimizing waste and resource extraction.
- Closed-Loop Systems: Closed-loop recycling reduces the need for virgin materials and lowers environmental impact. A study in the Resources, Conservation & Recycling journal discusses the effectiveness of closed-loop recycling systems .
- Cradle-to-Cradle Design: This design philosophy focuses on creating products with materials that can be fully recycled or composted at the end of their life. The Journal of Cleaner Production provides insights into the cradle-to-cradle approach and its benefits .
