What Our Clients Say About FM Planter 2.0

  • “The recycled plastic planters created by Future Makers have made a real difference at Electric Daisy. They’ve brought colour, life and purpose to the space, especially knowing they were made from plastic waste. It’s been a brilliant way to keep plastic circular and transform it into something meaningful, visible and valuable."

    Jamie Quince Starkey, Founder of Down to Earth Derby and Electric Daisy

  • Circularity is a key part of sustainability in construction. This project has demonstrated how surplus materials can be repurposed to create an important community facility at Trent Basin.

    Peter Conboy, Development Director, Igloo Regeneration

  • "Thanks to Future Makers and Grow Notts, two planters have been installed on Broadway’s outdoor terrace, creating an attractive entryway. As well as looking great, the planters support our environmental and sustainability goals, make a great conversation starter and showcase the innovation and design skills of independent creative businesses in Nottingham.”

    Lee Nicholls, Creative Producer, Broadway, Nottingham

  • "This project has given our pupils hands on experience of recycling and creativity. It's been inspiring to see how plastic waste can become something so beautiful and useful.”
