Key Features
- Manufactured using 70 percent post consumer recycled plastics and agricultural byproducts
- Supplied with 520mm marine wire hanging and an S hook, ready to hang out of the box

- Sized for a 200mm hanging basket nursery pot
- Lightweight, which matters when the whole thing is hanging off a hook
Pure Standard
- The recycled content is real and it is quantified. Potted state 70 percent post consumer recycled plastics and agricultural byproducts, on the product page, as a number. Most brands using recycled plastic will not put a percentage in writing, and a stated figure is the whole reason this one is in the range.
- It comes complete. The 520mm marine wire and S hook are included. Hanging planters sold without hardware are the ones that sit in a cupboard, and this one does not have that problem.
- Post consumer is the harder half. Post consumer recycled content is waste that has already been through a household, which is materially harder to source than factory offcuts. Credit where it is due.
- Where it sits in the range. This is a recycled plastic piece, not a plastic free one, so we have not given it our Plastic Free tag and it scores lower on Materials than our stoneware planters. We stock it because a hanging planter needs to be light and weatherable, and recycled plastic is the honest answer to that brief. The scores below reflect that trade off rather than hiding it.
- Where we would like more. The specific polymer, any additives and the country of manufacture are not published. Those details would lift both the Materials and Manufacturing Transparency scores.
Overall score:
| Category | Score |
|---|---|
| Low-Tox & Material Safety | ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5) |
| Sustainability | ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4.5/5) |
| Manufacturing Transparency | ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3.5/5) |
| Packaging | ⭐⭐⭐☆☆ (3/5) |
How to Use
- Thread the supplied marine wire through the hanging points and hang from the S hook.
- Check that your fixing point is rated for the weight of the planter plus a fully watered plant. Wet potting mix is far heavier than dry.
- Leave your plant in its 200mm nursery pot and lift it out to water, or water lightly and let it drain before rehanging.
- Wipe with a damp cloth. Skip solvents and abrasive cleaners on the plastic body.
Good to Know
- Potted do not state whether this piece is drilled with a drainage hole. If you are hanging it indoors, we would water the plant separately and let it drain before it goes back up.
- Recycled plastic can vary slightly in tone batch to batch, which is a consequence of the recycled feedstock rather than a fault.

Our Take
A wide, shallow hanging pot in a warm mustard, made using 70 percent post consumer recycled plastics and agricultural byproducts, which is a published number rather than a gesture. It arrives with 520mm of marine wire and an S hook, so there is nothing else to buy and nothing to improvise. Not a plastic free piece and we will not pretend otherwise: it is the honest material for something that has to hang, stay light and live outdoors.

Frequently asked
What is the Charlotte hanging pot made from?
Potted manufacture it using 70 percent post consumer recycled plastics and agricultural byproducts. It is a plastic based composite rather than stone or ceramic, and we would rather be straight about that than lean on the natural look.
Is it plastic free?
No, and it does not carry our Plastic Free tag. It is recycled plastic, which is a different and still worthwhile thing. Post consumer content is waste that has already been through a household, which is harder to source than factory offcuts.
Does it come with everything I need to hang it?
Yes. 520mm of marine wire and an S hook are included. Check that your fixing point is rated for the planter plus a fully watered plant, because wet potting mix is far heavier than dry.
What size is it?
305mm wide and 140mm high, with a 293mm opening diameter. It is sized for a 200mm hanging basket nursery pot.
Can I use it outdoors?
Yes. Potted design it for patios, balconies and verandahs as well as indoors, and the marine wire is chosen for durability.
Does it have a drainage hole?
Potted do not publish drainage detail for the Charlotte. If you are hanging it indoors we would water the plant separately and let it drain before it goes back up.
