The Eco Pot
Created from your snack packaging
Billions of pounds of multi-layer plastic end up in the landfill every year.
Ridwell members have saved more than 135,000 pounds from the waste stream, with the bulk coming since we launched our first-of-its-kind multi-layer plastic recycling program in July. A portion has been transformed to create these plant pots, coming full circle. Designed to combine beauty and durability, these pots will keep your plants happy for decades.

The story behind Eco Pots
Pickup
You save multi-layer plastic like granola bar wrappers and pet food bags from the waste stream with every pickup. We sent a huge batch to our partner Arqlite.
Transformation
Arqlite used their innovative recycling process to turn the plastic into material they then shaped into pots. Each Eco Pot uses 100+ snack packages.
Ready to plant
The Eco Pots come packaged with Smart Gravel, another product made from single-use plastics, to act as a drainage layer when you add a plant to the pot.
