Why Joiners and Biophilic Designers are Turning to Our Natural Range Planter Inserts

When it comes to delivering high-quality, environmentally conscious planter solutions, joinery companies and biophilic designers alike are increasingly choosing Planter Protect Limited’s Natural Range. These inserts offer the same performance and durability as our standard options, with a more organic, rustic appearance—and a smaller environmental footprint.

A Natural Choice for Thoughtful Design

Our Natural Range planter inserts are created by removing the coloured gel coat typically found on GRP products. What’s left is a beautiful, honest finish that resonates with natural materials and biophilic design principles.

The result? A slightly more rustic aesthetic that pairs perfectly with timber joinery and living greenery—without compromising strength or longevity. For designers and makers focused on sustainability and seamless integration with natural elements, the Natural Range is a perfect fit.

Durable, Sustainable, and Customisable

All of our planter inserts—whether from our Natural Range or Standard Black Range—are:

• 100% waterproof
• Extremely durable, with a robust 5mm GRP thickness
• Smoothly finished on the outside for precise installation
• Customisable to any RAL colour (Standard Range only)

But what sets us apart is the eco-resin we use.

Our inserts are made from bio PET resin, derived from recycled plastic bottles. For every 220kg of resin used, we divert approximately 1,800 plastic bottles from landfill. It’s a small change that makes a big difference.

A Closed-Loop, Low-Waste Approach

At Planter Protect Limited, we’re committed to more than just a sustainable product—we’re building a sustainable process:

♻️ Return and Repurpose Service: Send your used inserts back to us. We'll refurbish them where possible, or recycle them responsibly when they're beyond repair. It's all part of our mission to reduce waste and extend product life.

📦 Zero Packaging: To further reduce waste, we deliver your inserts with no single-use packaging—just the product you need, ready to install.

🚚 Zero-Emission Local Deliveries: Wherever possible, we deliver using electric vehicles to reduce our carbon footprint and support cleaner cities and communities.

Together, these practices ensure your project supports sustainable design from start to finish.

Designed to Outlast the Planter Itself

Unlike many alternatives, we don’t cut corners. Our production process is reversed compared to traditional GRP manufacturing—meaning the fully emulsified, top-coated side is on the inside, where it counts. This prevents fibreglass splinters (a welcome bonus for installers!) and guarantees a waterproof, long-lasting insert.

We’re confident that our liners will outlast the wooden or metal planters they sit in—and that’s why we’re always happy to have them back for another life.

Supporting BREEAM and WELL Building Standards

Sustainability and occupant wellbeing are at the heart of modern building design—and our planter inserts actively contribute to both.

BREEAM Compliance: Our use of bio-based, recycled PET resin supports the BREEAM framework’s goals around low-impact materials, lifecycle durability, and responsible waste management. Our return scheme and packaging-free delivery also contribute to circular economy and minimised environmental impact.

WELL Building Standard: Biophilic design is central to the WELL Standard. Our planter inserts enable the seamless integration of living plants into interior and exterior spaces, enhancing the visual and physical connection to nature. Our materials are safe, durable, and designed to promote wellbeing throughout their use.
