HOZELOCK'S GROUNDBREAKING HOSE RANGE FEATURING UP TO 70% RECYCLED MATERIALS

As gardeners increasingly prioritise sustainability, their focus extends to various aspects of gardening, including the tools and equipment they use. This is not just limited to their functionality, but also the materials they’re made from and methods of production.

 

Sustainability lies at the heart of Hozelock’s mission and to continue its commitment to increasing the sustainability of its products, packaging, and manufacturing processes, Hozelock’s entire knitted hose range is now crafted from an impressive 70% recycled materials.

 

The knitted hose range features the Select Hose (formally known as the Starter Hose), the Ultraflex Hose, the Ultramax Hose and the popular Ultimate Hose, and has been part of Hozelock’s core product range for over 60 years.

 

The increase to 70% recycled materials, which has removed more than 900 tonnes of virgin PVC from the range, has been achieved through internal construction modifications and a shift to recycled PVC, enabled by Hozelock’s newly developed recycling capabilities. 

 

Extensive testing has been conducted to ensure the change does not compromise on quality or performance for gardeners, and the range features a hose suitable for almost any watering task thanks to innovative design and technology.

The Select Hose is designed with a hard-wearing braided structure that offers both quality and durability and is an ideal multipurpose solution for general use in the garden.

The Ultraflex Hose is a flexible anti-kink hose, featuring anti-twist technology to prevent twisting under pressure and allow for continuous water flow. Designed with optimum flexibility in mind, it is the perfect choice for those gardens requiring manoeuvrability.

For tougher watering tasks and gardens with challenging terrain, the Ultramax Hose is the hose for the job, thanks to the crush-proof and anti-kink properties.  

The Ultimate Hose is the most premium in the knitted hose range, with the benefits of being anti-kink, anti-twist and crush-proof, while also flexible and lightweight for the user.

 

The enhanced range of hoses is now available from UK retailers, including garden centres.
