Plastech | Waste plastic planters for COVID affected care homes

Plastech Innovation 

We are a start-up based in Durham, UK. Our mission is to eliminate plastic waste by transforming it into an aggregate for use in concrete and other construction materials. 

Plastech uses its patent pending process to create an eco-friendly material that makes concrete lighter weight, thermally insulating and even sound reducing... it also looks great!

Interesting fact: did you know the world is running out of construction grade sand? We use enough every year to cover the entire state of California! Nature cannot keep up with the demand. Our products act as sand replacements - keeping the sand in the ocean and the plastic out! 

Our small team is made up of Natasha, Phil and Scott, all scientists who are trying to make a positive impact on the world.

We have just moved into a new facility which is where this picture was taken. Scott is happy to move the concrete making out of his house! 

The Project

The aim of this campaign is to give back to the community by donating beautifully handcrafted concrete planters to COVID affected care homes, remodelling outdoor spaces whilst also reducing plastic waste sent to landfill. 

We have partnered with Bespoke Concrete Products for this project, specialists in custom-made precast pieces.

During these uncertain and challenging times, the project will allow us as a business to grow by developing our processes and new products.

Every penny of your donation will go on equipment to process waste plastic, product development and the production of concrete.

If we exceed our original target we are committed to donating planters to an increased number of care homes. 

Rewards

Claim your reward with every pledge. Our rewards range from personalised thank you's to coasters.. or you can even get your hands on mini-versions of the planters! 

It is our aim to deliver all of your rewards by the estimated delivery dates stated on our page. If unforeseen circumstances require us to change the delivery date then we will contact you in advance with an update and a new estimated delivery date.

Please note that we are dealing with waste plastic, therefore, the colours may differ from the pictures. This is the beauty of the pieces and every item is unique. The planters do not come with the plants included.
