Your concern about chemical leaching from plastic planters is completely valid and something we take seriously. Many conventional plastics can indeed leach harmful chemicals into soil, which may then be absorbed by your plants. Our urban planter boxes are manufactured using food-safe, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) plastic that's certified free from BPA, lead, and phthalates. This specific type of plastic is the same material used for food storage containers and cutting boards, making it ideal for growing edible plants. The non-porous nature of HDPE prevents chemicals from leaching into your soil, ensuring that your herbs, vegetables, and fruits remain uncontaminated. Unlike lower-quality plastics that can degrade in sunlight, our planters include UV stabilizers that maintain the material's integrity without compromising safety. For extra peace of mind, we recommend looking for planters specifically labeled as "food-grade" or "food-safe" and avoiding those made from recycled plastics of unknown origin. With proper drainage and quality soil, our planters provide a safe environment for your edible garden to thrive, bringing fresh, chemical-free produce to your urban space.
I'm concerned about chemicals leaching from plastic; are your plastic urban planter boxes food-safe?
