Our view on plastics

What sustainability means to us
Better product design is the starting point for a more sustainable approach. For Keter, this means creating useful, reliable products with a growing focus on recycled content, recyclability and smarter use of resources. Our aim is to make sustainable living feel practical, simple and suited to real homes.
Why sustainability matters
The products people choose for their homes and gardens can have a lasting impact. When items are made well and used for longer, they can help reduce the need for frequent replacement.
By designing with purpose, performance and future use in mind, we support more responsible living without compromising on style, function or convenience.
Key benefits include
- Longer-lasting products: Made for everyday use and reliable value over time.
- Less waste over time: Products that remain useful for longer support more considered consumption.
- Recycled material use: We continue to increase recycled content across selected ranges.
- Recyclable design: Many products are developed with end-of-life recyclability in mind.
- Low-maintenance living: Easy-care products reduce the need for regular treatment or upkeep.
We're serious about sustainability. We are already the industry leaders in the use of recycled materials. But we want to aim higher.
We aim to double our use of recycled materials to 80% by 2028.
We know this is a big ambition and we will only achieve it through working together with our customers, consumers and other partners.
