Frustrated with the waste and high carbon footprint associated with shipping simple items such as plant pots, Andrew Flynn and Eilidh Cunningham founded POTR in 2023. Since then, the company has broken new ground, inventing the POTR Pot, a flatpack planter that slashes emissions during transit up to 100 times thanks to the weight and volume saved. In the past year alone, POTR has collected, recycled and converted five metric tonnes of plastic waste from the UK coastline into its flatpack planters, removing harmful materials from the marine ecosystem and transforming them into long-lasting, self-watering planters.

Offering a precise way to apply compost in small spaces, Sneeboer’s Garden Scoop is made using cutting edge laser welding technology – a precision technique that reduces energy consumption by up to 30% compared to traditional welding. Its handles are from wood components previously deemed unsuitable – a circular practice that reduces virgin materials while maintaining Sneeboer’s premium quality and ergonomics.

Up to 75 percent of the acetate used in traditional eyewear manufacturing is typically wasted. MONC’s game-changing bio-acetate, however, is free from fossil fuel-based plasticisers, reducing reliance on petroleum-derived materials. Frames are presented in fully compostable mycelium packaging, and their mineral glass lenses significantly decrease plastic waste compared to conventional alternatives. Produced in micro-batches, MONC design, craft and repair eyewear with a circular approach.
