The 'Lynx' container system

The 'Lynx' container system is a patented* plant container product that allows the designer to make a fully-linked, integrated plant display from a set of simple components.

Invented by scientists at Rentokil Initial's Research and Development facility, the idea was to create an infinitely flexible and changeable container system that could be used in ways never previously considered.

The ‘Lynx’ container system is designed to be lightweight, strong and easy to assemble. Its finish, in high grade acrylic-capped ABS, is scratch and dent resistant and is available in a wide range of colours and patterns. The design, whilst being unique, blends in with existing container styles.

The ‘Lynx’ container system is fully compatible with all commonly-used subterranean irrigation systems, hydroculture and semi-hydro growing techniques.

The benefits of the system include:

• The system is infinitely flexible: it can be made into troughs and landscape beds, it can be formed around corners, pillars or reception desks and it can be used to divide a room or mark pedestrian routes.
• The sectional nature of the product means that a display can be made up with many different coloured panels, e.g. corporate colour schemes.
• Damaged panels can be replaced easily without having to replant the container.
• Replacement plants can be inserted, pre-planted into inner pots, and old plants removed without having to dig out old compost and risk making a mess on the carpet.
• The acrylic-capped ABS from broken or discarded panels can be recycled. The inner container can be made from recycled plastics.
