The Ecopot
ÂŽ
Eco certified by IBR Rosenheim. Waterproof, 97% naural material, -40°C frost resistant. 13 mm thickness for pots with diameter or side greater than 46 cm.
Structural solidity, no fibres inside. Cork feet, seal of Guarantee and drip holes to eliminate water stagnation.
To clean the pot do not use abrasive cleaners or coarse objects. Use plain water only, or an air compressor gun. Either may be used along with a soft bristled scrubbing brush.

The saucer Copper ring: a new anti-mosquito device to prevent larvae from proliferating in standing water.
Multipurpose: dimensions were designed so that it could be used as a pot cover as well, to create a comfortable outdoor small table.
The cache pot Filled with soil: it’s a pot for small flowers.
Filled with sand: it’s a useful outdoor ashtray.
REsack and REfill Our factory has Ecopot protected through to the home of the end user. Each pot is in fact packed in a reusable bag (REsack) which, in order to protect the environment, is manufactured in a photosensitive material which lasts for a maximum of 3 months if exposed to direct sunlight. Inside many of the Ecopots, a pack of expanded clay (REfill) is provided, which is an essential material to be placed at the bottom of the pot before the soil is poured in: this favours water drainage thus protecting the pot’s aspect. Protection and well-being for your plants, in 4 simple steps.
1
Take the pot out of the REsack.
2
Pour 5 cm of the expanded clay pearls (REfill) into the bottom of the pot to create a drainage bed.
3/OPTION A
The REsack can be reused as a garden bag for collecting leaves, lawn cuttings, or for whatever you like.
3/OPTION B
Cut the bottom out of the REsack with scissors, and place it over the bed of expanded clay pearls to form a barrier.
3/OPTION C
Place the geotextile REsack protector inside the pot. Roll the excess material inwards, or simply trim.
4
Now your pot is ready for filling with soil, and planting.
RIM: reinforced inorganic material What is Rim? RIM, the material from which Basic & Co’s pot is made, is a 97% mixture of silicas selected for their specific features. These are required to create a material that is compact and at the same time porous. Silica is the most common mineral on Earth, is resistant to frost, chemicals, UV rays, and is durable. RIM does not contain any fibres that are potentially harmful to health or the environment. Heat and frost resistant RIM’s special formulation guarantees frost resistance up to -40°C: water below 0°C becomes solid (ice) and increases in volume, but the size and shape of the micro cavities in RIM enable these to expand thereby preventing damage and breakage. RIM has also been tested to withstand extremely high temperatures, up to +100°C, without undergoing any alteration.
ESP_ ¿Qué es? RIM, el material con que está formada la maceta de Basic and Co, está constituido por el 97% por una unión de sílices seleccionadas, con las características específicas necesarias para la constitución de un material compacto y al mismo tiempo poroso. La sílice es el mineral más común en la tierra; es un mineral resistente al hielo, a los agentes químicos, a los rayos ultravioletas, y es duradero en el tiempo. El RIM no contiene Fibras potencialmente dañinas para la salud y para el medioambiente. Resistencia a las temperaturas La constitución especial del RIM garantiza la resistencia al hielo hasta los -40ºC: el agua, debajo de los 0ºC, pasa al estado sólido (hielo), aumentando de volumen, pero las dimensiones y la conformación de las micro-cavidades del material RIM permiten su expansión, sin consecuencias de daños o roturas. El material RIM se ha probado para soportar temperaturas elevadas sin sufrir alteraciones, hasta los +100ºC.
FRA_ Qu’est-ce que c’est ? Le pot de Basic and Co est composé d’un matériau appelé RIM, qui est constitué à 97% d’un mélange de silices sélectionnées présentant des caractéristiques spécifiques nécessaires à la constitution d’un matériau compact mais, en même temps, poreux. La silice est le minéral le plus répandu sur Terre, elle est résistante au gel, aux agents chimiques, aux rayons UV et a une longue durée de vie. Le RIM ne contient pas de fibres potentiellement dangereuses pour la santé et pour l’environnement.
RRésistance aux températures extrêmes La constitution particulière du RIM lui permet de résister au gel, jusqu’à -40C°: lorsque la température est inférieure à 0C° l’eau devient solide (glace) et son volume augmente mais la taille et la forme des micro-cavités du matériau RIM leur permettent de se dilater sans risque de dommages ou de ruptures. Le matériau RIM a été testé pour supporter des températures élevées, sans s’altérer, jusqu’à +100C°.
DEU_ Was ist darunter zu verstehen? RIM, das material aus dem der pflanztopf von Basic and Co gemacht ist, besteht zu 97% aus einem Verbund aus ausgewählten Siliziumarten, deren spezifische Eigenschaften zur Herstellung eines gleichermaßen harten wie porösen Materials beitragen. Silizium ist das am häufigsten vorkommende Mineral auf der Erde. Es ist frost-, chemikalien- und UVstrahlenbeständig und langlebig. RIM enthält keine potentiell gesundheitsoder umweltschädlichen Stoffe. Temperaturbeständigkeit Der besondere Aufbau von RIM garantiert eine Frostbeständigkeit bis – 40°C. Wasser geht unter 0° C in des festen Aggregatzustand (Eis) über und vergrößert dabei sein Volumen. Die Größe und die Beschaffenheit der Mikro-Hohlräume des Materials RIM fangen diese Ausdehnung ohne Schäden oder Risse auf. Tests bestätigen, dass das Material RIM auch hohen Temperaturen bis +100°C unbehelligt standhält.
