What the RECO Project Is All About
The RECO project is a fresh take on gardening irrigation, blending innovation with sustainability. It’s the first range of irrigation accessories made with over 70% recycled plastic, crafted with the highest quality GF materials and a deep respect for the environment. This isn’t just about watering plants—it’s about rethinking how gardening tools can be designed and used. The project aims to break away from the traditional, inviting gardeners to be curious, to wonder, and to feel connected to their outdoor spaces in new ways. It’s unconventional, unique, and designed not only for irrigation but also for enhancing outdoor living experiences.

The Unconventional Spirit Behind the Project
The RECO NEW Line is part of a bigger vision called the Unconventional project. It’s about shaking up the gardening world, challenging the usual rules, and encouraging people to be different.
