When you hold one of these pots in your hands, you’re not just holding a container for a plant. You’re holding a story. A movement. A piece of the ocean, reborn.
These aren’t mass-produced, factory-line pots. They’re limited edition works of change — just 300 recycled plant pots ever made — created in collaboration with Ecotribo, using fishing nets collected from UK beaches. Each one is unique, each one carries its own pattern, its own swirl of colour, and its own reminder that waste can be transformed into wonder.
And the best part? They’re made in a 100% solar-powered factory, so the process of creating them doesn’t just recycle — it runs entirely on clean, renewable energy. That means every pot you bring home is doubly green: better for your jungle, better for the planet.
Why These Recycled Plant Pots Matter
Every year, millions of tonnes of plastic choke our oceans, harming marine life and polluting ecosystems. Fishing nets are one of the biggest offenders — drifting for decades, trapping wildlife, and breaking down into microplastics that never truly disappear.
By recycling these nets into beautiful plant pots, we’re not only giving them a second life — we’re turning a symbol of destruction into a vessel for growth. That’s what these pots are about: life, renewal, and hope.
When you choose one, you’re choosing more than a pot. You’re choosing to stand with the planet.
Designed for Collectors, Branded for Believers
This isn’t just eco-plastic. It’s eco-plastic with soul. Each pot carries The Bearded Plantaholic branding embossed into it, making it part of your collection forever. They’re sturdy, stylish, and carry the retro-gritty vibe we’re known for.
Unique, Just Like Nature
No two pots are alike. The swirls and textures in every piece are different, meaning your pot is truly one-of-a-kind. They’re the fingerprints of the ocean — a reminder of where this material once lived and what it’s become.
This uniqueness is what makes them special. They’re not perfection in a mould; they’re character, story, and movement shaped into form.
Made in a Solar-Powered Factory
Sustainability isn’t just in the material — it’s in the making. These pots are crafted in a 100% solar-powered factory, ensuring every step of the process is fuelled by renewable energy.
That means when you add one to your jungle, you’re not just recycling plastic. You’re supporting clean energy and proving that the future can be built without harming the planet.
Shipping That Matches the Mission
Free UK shipping — because positive change should never come with hidden extras.
Worldwide delivery — because the ocean touches every corner of the Earth, and so should this movement.
Wherever you are, these pots can travel to you.
Be Part of Something Bigger
Every pot is a small rebellion against waste. Every plant you place inside is a vote for life. Together, they make your jungle more than beautiful — they make it meaningful.
This isn’t just about styling your shelf or upgrading your monstera’s home. It’s about being part of a shift, about looking at your plants every day and remembering: I helped turn the tide.
The Movement in Your Hands
Plant people don’t just collect leaves — we collect meaning, stories, and connections. This is your chance to collect something that matters.
Because when your pot grows roots around your plant, it’s also rooting a bigger idea: that beauty can come from brokenness, that waste can become wonder, and that change can start small — right on your windowsill.
