Growing greener one herb at a time.

We have our sights set on sustainability. Every part of our product lifecycle is carefully crafted to lessen the environmental impact, from how it’s made and used to the recycling stage. While there much more that needs to be done, choosing high quality products that help reduce food and material waste is a good place to start.

Transforming waste to wow.

Dive in and see how the SmartGrow Life is helping eco-conscious consumers reduce waste.

Materials matter.

SmartGrow Life is made of 74% recycled post-industrial plastic. And fully recyclable.

Repair don’t replace.

The unique modular design makes it easy to repair, helping to reduce electronic waste and improving its recyclability.

Closing the loop with our never bin guarantee.

At the end of its life, we ensure that every part of your SmartGrow Life is responsibly disposed and recycled.

It begins with unboxing.

The SmartGrow Life's old home is made from 80% recycled paper and contains no wasteful Styrofoam. Its economically spacious design can house up to three accessories, so that no additional packaging is needed.
