FAQs
What are our our hand tools made from?
Our gardening hand tools are made from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic. We use high-density polyethylene (HDPE) and source our used plastic from Lids4kids Australia.
Where are your products made?
All of our products are hand crafted in Australia on Gunaikurnai Country (East Gippsland).
Are your garden tools fade resistant?
HDPE is naturally UV resistant however we do not recommend that you leave your tools out in the elements when not in use. We have chosen not added any additional chemicals to our products (including UV stabilisers) so they can be easily recycled again at their end of life.
How strong are your garden hand tools?
Our garden hand tools are just as strong as conventional tools on the market. They have a tensile strength of 3200 – 4500 PSI or 224 Kg of weight per centre meter square.
Where do you ship to?
We ship anywhere in Australia, New Zealand and United States.
Do you supply to stockists?
Yes we do! For more information about becoming a stockist lease email hello@gardeningoncountry.com.
I have been collecting bottle tops, can I send them to you?
Currently we do not have the facilities and room needed to accept donations of recycled plastic. We recommend sending your bottle tops (must have plastic code 2 or 4 only) to Lids 4 Kids Australia.
