As a socially responsible and conscious brand, GARDENA has always been committed to sustainability. The new EcoLine range is intended as a clear symbol of its commitment to the environment and the sustainable quality of its products. The EcoLine products have a unique design that deliberately differs from the standard range. The discreet colour scheme in combination with the metal elements gives the tools a modern, high-quality look. But above all, it’s what’s on the inside that makes the difference: The plastic components of each product consist of at least 65% recycled material.

Most of the recycled plastics are made up of household waste, such as films or packaging – also known as post-consumer recycled materials. Taking into account the properties and functions that the different products have to fulfil, the GARDENA experts have worked out the possibilities and limits of the material composition down to the last detail. Special emphasis has been placed on uncompromising quality in terms of functionality and durability. The result is a new product range that consists of basic equipment for watering, a watering sprayer and an oscillating sprinkler, as well as three hand-held tools and a pair of secateurs.

Turning the old into the new
With the new GARDENA EcoLine basic equipment, the watering sprayer and the oscillating sprinkler, gardeners will have everything they need for watering their plants and lawns.

The tap connector has a clever Anti-Splash function, which produces a concentrated water jet to facilitate splash-free filling of watering cans and buckets or hand washing without a hose. Just like the hose connector, water stop and nozzle, the plastic elements of the tap connector are made from more than 90% recycled material. By making use of recycled materials in its products, GARDENA is setting new standards in terms of sustainability.

The watering sprayer has an ergonomic and functional design. The soft sprayer jet is ideal for watering pot plants and planted areas. It is incredibly easy to use thanks to the pulse trigger for the continuous flow of water and the convenient one-handed operation of the water flow regulation. The oscillating sprinkler is suitable for watering lawns ranging from 90 to 220 square metres in area. The range can be adjusted along a continuous scale. Metal elements have been included for increased durability. Aluminium-reinforced nozzle tubes, which are manufactured with more than 25% recycled material, provide a high level of resistance to breakage. All tools are frost-proof and UV-resistant and can withstand the highest demands in terms of outdoor elements. The EcoLine products for watering can naturally be used with all products from the Original GARDENA System. Everything fits together perfectly and is leak-free. GARDENA provides a 5-year warranty on these products proudly made in Germany.

Sustainably manufactured with a 25-year warranty
The new GARDENA EcoLine small tools and secateurs are part of the basic equipment for every passionate gardening enthusiast. Trowels, weeding trowels and patio weeders are equipped with ergonomic handles that have plastic components made from more than 85% recycled plastics. Wooden elements made from FSC-certified beech wood at the end of the handle harmoniously round off the high-quality look.

The new bypass secateurs feature precision-ground upper and lower blades made from more than 75% recycled stainless steel to facilitate accurate and clean cuts of young shoots and green plants. The secateurs are distinguished by excellent ergonomics, particular ease of handling and optimal cutting force. Thanks to the single-hand safety lock, the secateurs can be stored safely after use. Because GARDENA does not compromise on quality, even for small tools and garden secateurs made from recycled materials, the company provides a 25-year warranty on these products.

The packaging of the EcoLine range is made from 100 % recycled and recyclable cardboard and is printed with water based ink.

All the important facts regarding sustainability have been summarised on the GARDENA website at www.gardena.com/rethink. On this page, gardening enthusiasts can obtain comprehensive information about the products, the materials used and how they can implement sustainable choices in their garden.
