This spring, many people will be purchasing porcelain pots to put their plants in, and the Potted Carbon Planter stands out as an innovative choice that's made with an OurCarbon porcelain mix. When organic materials like food scraps and yard trimmings are sent to the landfill, they decompose naturally yet they are trapped with inorganic materials. To make the most of organic waste, Bioforcetech turns waste into energy and biocharcoal.
The Potted Carbon Planter is infused with this OurCarbon and it boasts a design that's modern enough to fit into any home today but also last the test of time. Thanks to the use of OurCarbon, the handmade and hand-finished planters need no glaze, as Bioforcetech describes that "OurCarbon used in this planter contains waste silica that melts into a glass-like material when fired."
