FOOTPRINT 1: RECYCLING

We’re committed to the 3 Rs; Recycling, Reducing and Reusing:

• We recycle our plastics, glass, paper and cardboard and encourage our customers to do the same, with fully recyclable bags, biodegradable boot liners and customer recycling facilities on site. 

• All our plastic plant pots with the Bents logo can be returned for recycling or reusing and customers are encouraged to do this by receiving 50p off the purchase of their next hardy plant.

• We recycle and compost all the green waste from our growing nursery which is used for soil improvement, mulching or as planting material.
