Below, we are showcasing two eco-friendly garden products that are paving the way for sustainability, providing practical yet planet-friendly options to customers in a climate that is ever changing.
Strata Water Butts
The UK experienced a prolonged period of dry weather in 2022, with a severe summer heatwave and record-breaking temperatures to match. As we move through the winter, there is still a posed risk for water resources.
As the impact of climate change continues to take effect, with dry summers set to be a common occurrence in future, gardeners will need to look for new ways to keep their garden hydrated when hose pipe bans are put into place more and more.
Water butts have been a practical solution for conserving water for decades, collecting rainwater to allow gardeners to water plants, rinse crops, top-up ponds and even clean cars – all whilst reducing water waste and bills at the same time.
Strata water butts offer a complete eco-friendly package. Not only do they reduce water waste, but they are also made in the UK from fully recycled materials. Strata water butts can also be recycled so even when they are no longer useful, they can continue to be sustainable.
By choosing Strata water butts, you can provide customers with a completely sustainable option for their garden.
Plasticforte Recycled Flexi Tub
Some products provide endless options for their use – and the Plasticforte Recycled Flexi Tub is one of them.
From kids’ toy storage to transporting rubble on building sites and even apple bobbling, this strong and sturdy plastic tub can be used by families and tradespeople alike.
Plasticforte Recycled Flexi Tubs are a sustainable choice, made of 98% recycled materials and 2% dye. Part of the raw material is post-consumer recycled material, and the other part is obtained from leftovers generated during the manufacture of other products. Plasticforte also shred waste in their facilities, reducing transportation costs and adding to their sustainable credentials as a brand.
These innovative plastic tubs are also BPA free, prioritising the health of customers, as well as the environment.
