How it works

Four steps from waste to a working garden.

A simple loop: collect plastic, make planters, put them where food can grow, and keep using them.

  1. 01

    Collect & sort

    We work with communities, schools, and recyclers to gather mixed plastic waste, then sort it before anything is made.

  2. 02

    Process

    Plastic is cleaned and moulded into durable modular parts — the right polymer reserved for the right garden.

  3. 03

    Assemble

    Modules become vertical systems, raised beds, and stackable kits that fit the walls and yards people already have.

  4. 04

    Grow

    People plant, harvest, and reuse the same beds season after season.

Why sorting matters

Not every plastic belongs in a food garden.

Mixed waste is useful. It is not all the same. We sort before we mould, so ornamental planters can take the hard-to-recycle stream, and food planters are reserved for safer polymers.

Mixed plastics

For non-edible planters

Hard-to-recycle mixed plastic becomes sturdy ornamental and non-food planters — keeping material in use instead of in a dump.

HDPE and PP

For growing food

Safer plastics — mainly HDPE and PP — are reserved for planters used to grow vegetables, herbs, and other edible crops.

Kits go to households, schools, and community gardens that need them.
