elho, the leading producer of sustainable design products for home and garden, has launched its new impact report.

The family-owned company from Tilburg, Netherlands, presents impressive results from 2024 including, a CO₂ footprint reduction by 50% in just eight years, making it the lowest in its category. Another milestone is the significantly improved B Corp score, up by 28.5%. The impact achieved in 2024 inspired new initiatives for 2025, including elho's debut biodiversity collection.

Highlights from the impact report include:

• Elho’s CO₂ footprint is 2.5 times lower than that of non-sustainable plastic pots and 6 times lower than ceramic pots
• Since 2024, all elho products are made from 100% recycled plastic
• 100% renewable energy use thanks to our own wind turbine and solar panels
• Local production in the Netherlands, with a strong focus on emission-free transport
• 13 million kilos of plastic waste transformed into high-quality design products in 2024

Innovation with impact

elho continues to turn waste streams into beautiful design pots, such as the Winery Collection in 2024, made from discarded binding twine from French vineyards.

Later this year, elho will launch a new biodiversity collection, including birdhouses, feeders, and insect hotels, all made entirely from recycled plastic. The collection has been developed in collaboration with ecological experts such as Naturalis and Vogelbescherming Nederland (Bird Protection Netherlands). In addition, 1% of the revenue will be invested in biodiversity projects through 1% for the Planet.

Putting people first

With 315 employees representing 25 nationalities, elho continues to invest in an inclusive, healthy, and inspiring workplace culture. Initiatives such as a vitality budget, bicycle plan, flexible remote working, and mental health programs have led to a fifth consecutive Great Place to Work certification and a spot in the Top 10 Best Workplaces for Women.
