A plan pot for the 21st century

 

We’re on a mission to provide sustainable, hassle free botanical care for all. Utilising origami innovations to keep your flora thriving, delivered directly through your letterbox.

 

What started as simple paper origami experiments has transformed into a thriving range of planters and vases designed to provide hassle free botanical care.

 

                                                                Pull the draw string to assemble!

 

Our team is built on a belief that good design can bring about positive change in people lives. Our goal is to make horticulture as accessible as possible.

 

Holistic Sustainable Design

 

Traditional planters are often large, heavy, fragile objects requiring copious amounts if single use plastic to keep them protected during shipping.

 

What is shipped to the customer is a effectively a large volume of air with a high carbon footprint!

 

 

Sustainable design is more than simply using recycled material. At POTR we take a ground up, holistic view when designing our products which considers the entire product lifecycle.

 

 

Our enviromental design principles are captured below:

 

Minimal Material Usage

 

POTR Pots use 95% less material on average when compared to traditional planters made from concrete or ceramics. This is due to our recycled sheet material being only 0.7mm thick! Rather than using excess material, the structure of our pots is engineered using the architectural origami design.

 

 

 

Recycled Material

 

All of our POTR Pots are made from waste polypropylene destined for landfill, as well as the outer component of our vase. We invest time sourcing and developing sustainable materials which best fit our product applications - our latest range of pots are made from recycled fishing nets.

 

 

 

Design for Longevity

 

Unlike a traditional ceramic or concrete planter, POTR Pots will not break if dropped or knocked. They`re ready for the bumps and bashes you were least expecting. This ensures all the energy used to create the product is not needlesly wasted, unlike fragile alternatives.

 

 

 

Simple Recycling

 

Our products have been designed to be easy to dissamble into individual components to keep recycling simple. Check with your local council area regarding their recycling capabilities or take the components to your local recycling centre.

 

 

Sustainability From The Ground Up

 

Circular design thinking in everything we do, from our carbon saving flat packed delivery to reducing material usage by 90%, holistic sustainable design is at the heart of all we do.

 

 

Which size POTR for my house plant ? 

Pre potted plants come in fairly standard sized pots, and can be classified into one of two categories:

• Diameter - generally for smaller plant pots (10cm in diameter or less at the rim)
• Volume - generally this starts at 1 litre and rises to infinity and beyond!

To begin our collection, we have designed our pots to fit a range of common house plant pot sizes: 

• Small POTR Pot = 10cm diameter (0.49 litre) house plant pot or less
• Large POTR Pot = 14cm diameter (1.5 litre) house plant pot or less

POTR Pots have a little bit of give around the top rim so can fit slightly larger sizes than the recommended sizes stated above if necessary.

 

 

Having spoken with many plant shop owners, house plant enthusiasts and from our personal experience, we believe the sizes we have designed will cover a large majority of house plants. We intend to release more sizes in the future!
