FAQ - Sustainability

At elho, we constantly strive for the most sustainable production methods. That’s why we currently use 100% recycled plastic. Every day, we look for new ways to create our products even more sustainably—helping make your life a little greener.

At elho, we feel responsible for taking care of nature. We aim to create products that make both you and the environment happy. Here’s how:

Recycled & recyclable: Our products are made from recycled plastic and are fully recyclable. Each year, we use 11 million kilograms of waste to create our beautiful design pots.

Sustainable quality: With durable colours, UV protection, and frost resistance, all elho products are built to last for years.

Made with wind energy: The production of our design pots runs entirely on sustainable wind energy.

Made in the Netherlands: All our designer pots are designed and produced in the Netherlands.

Choosing elho means choosing style, durability, and care for the planet.

Quality is very important to us and plastic is a very durable material. This ensures that you can enjoy your elho pot for a long time. Plastic has many advantages: it withstands freezing temperatures, it is lightweight, and our plastic pots retain their colour year after year! However, we also believe that sustainable business is very important. That’s why we produce as sustainably as possible, and we have succeeded in creating our entire collection from 100% recycled plastic.

We’re very proud of this. Day in, day out, we’re looking for new, even more, sustainable solutions to create products that make your life a little greener.

The most important raw material is the plastic used by various companies that ends up as unused waste from their production processes. We think that’s a shame! Think of all the waste that comes from producing diapers, contact lenses, but also cultivation pots and various types of food packaging. Our raw materials also include the elho pots that roll off the conveyor belt when machines are started up or with colour changes.

Fun fact: this is almost 12,000,000 kilos of plastic per year.
