Waterups 

Waterups is an Australian company, our product range, designed and manufactured in Australia covers both above ground and in ground wicking systems that are made from recycled polypropylene. The range includes our wicking system components - cells, inlet pipes and overflow pipes,  coloubond steel wicking beds, planters and our sub irrigation channels. In wicking beds, water is drawn up into the pore spaces in the soil, via capillary action to a height of about 350mm as required by the plant. Water wicking beds eliminate the problem of deciding when and how much to water. We provide sustainable, water saving, plant watering solutions for residential and commercial applications and public spaces. 

RECYCLED CONTENT DESCRIPTION (self-declared)

At WaterUps® we understand the importance of ending single use plastics and promoting sustainability. That is why we only use 100% recycled plastic in our wicking system products. We outsource our manufacturing to Reln Industries in southwestern Sydney, who are one of the largest consumers of recycled plastic in Australia. They source resin for us from Martogg in Melbourne. We use PIR or Post Industrial Resin for our cells, pipes and sub-Irrigation Channels. This type of plastic is made up of the perfectly fine leftovers from the manufacture of polypropylene plastic containers. The PIR is cleaned and molded to form new containers, preventing the leftovers from reaching landfills. We use PCR or Post Consumer Resin for our Square Planters. PCR is manufactured from used, recycled and repurposed plastic that is collected from beaches, oceans, land and recycling plants. These plastics include plastic bottles, cleaning product bottles, plastic containers etc.
