The Smarter Choice for Outdoor Spaces: TerraCast® planters made from LLDPE resin
March 13, 2025
TerraCast® planters made from LLDPE resin (linear low-density polyethylene) address these issues effectively. Lightweight yet incredibly durable, our planters are easy to move and install without the need for heavy machinery. They resist cracking, chipping, and fading, even in extreme climates, ensuring longevity and reducing replacement costs. The reduced weight also lowers transportation expenses and virtually eliminates the risk of damage during transit. In addition to their practical advantages, our planters support sustainability goals by being made with up to 100% recycled materials and being fully recyclable at the end of their life.

Solving Common Planter Problems - Lightweight and Durable Alternative to Clay and Concrete
February 13, 2025
Heavy materials like clay and concrete have traditionally been used for outdoor planters, but they come with significant challenges. Their weight makes installation and relocation labor-intensive, often requiring machinery and additional workers. Over time, these materials are also prone to cracking and chipping, especially in freezing temperatures or harsh conditions, leading to frequent and costly replacements. Transportation costs are higher due to their heavy weight, and the risk of damage during shipping adds to the overall expense. Furthermore, clay and concrete planters are not very sustainable; they often leave a larger environmental footprint and offer limited recyclability.
