Read our process FAQs below to find out exactly how our range of Agricultural by-product Pots, Planters and Vases are produced and how they can be used.
CAN I PUT FOOD IN THEM?
Our products are not suitable for food contact.
WHAT IS HUSK MADE FROM?
Husk is made from 75-80% agricultural by-products, such as coffee husks, bamboo powder, nut husk, chaff and straw. These products are biodegradable and would be burnt if not used for a functional purpose. We mix this with 20/25% resin that contains nitrogen to create our durable, functional products. When degrading the resin will release nitrates into the soil and fertilise the ground!
HOW LONG DO THEY LAST?
Up to 7 years before they start to become weak and non functional. This can vary depending on how you look after the product.
HOW DO I DISPOSE OF THE PRODUCT?
Simply crush and bury it under the ground. The time it takes our product to biodegrade will depend on several environmental factors, such as how small the product is crushed, how hot the soil is and how wet the ground is too. If you want your product disposed of professionally we recommend using Teracycle.
CAN I USE MY POT OUTSIDE?
Yes, our Husk pots can go outside, although this may effect the life of the product.
ARE THE POTS FROST PROOF?
Yes! They are tested from -40 degrees Celsius to 100 degrees.
