Govaplast in the city: multifunctional planters

Govaplast planters: more than just green in the city

For cities and municipalities aiming for an attractive, safe, and sustainable public space, planters are becoming increasingly valuable. They not only contribute to the greening of streets and squares but also serve key functions in demarcation, traffic guidance, and temporary urban layout. Govaplast planters, made from recycled plastic, are designed with this versatility in mind.

Applications in public spaces

The planters can be used for a wide range of purposes: enhancing squares, marking out terraces, or calming traffic in residential streets. They combine the function of a flower container with that of a traffic obstacle or boundary element. The planters offer both aesthetic appeal and functional value. They provide a low-threshold way to adapt spaces—temporarily or permanently—to changing needs without major construction works.

Freedom of choice in shape, size, and finish

The range is built around several basic shapes (square, rectangular, hexagonal) and offers a wide selection of sizes and heights. Customers can opt for a sleek design or a more detailed finish with staggered planks or decorative top edges. A wide variety of colours is also available, allowing for easy integration into any environment. Engraving is also possible to reinforce the identity of your municipality or city.

Mobile options for temporary use

For temporary or seasonal projects—such as summer greening of squares or traffic interventions at events—models with optional base beams are available. These can be moved with a pallet jack, making them ideal for flexible use of space and easy reconfiguration.

Consistent urban design

For a uniform look, the planters can be combined with other Govaplast street furniture, such as benches, bins, or tables. The Agora line, for example, offers various elements in a cohesive style, ensuring visual consistency in the streetscape. At the same time, each product remains individually usable or can be combined with other urban furniture.

Low maintenance and durable

Govaplast planters are made from recycled plastic and require minimal upkeep. They are weather-resistant, won’t rot or splinter, and retain their shape and colour over the years. This makes them a cost-effective long-term choice, especially compared to traditional materials like wood or concrete.

Custom solutions for specific projects

When a project requires a non-standard solution, customization is available. Thanks to our in-house design and assembly team, Govaplast can collaborate with landscape architects or municipal departments to adapt products to specific requirements—such as custom dimensions, integration with existing infrastructure, or aesthetic preferences. Govaplast planters help cities and towns create attractive, safe, and adaptable public spaces, and are also suitable for use by schools, hospitality businesses, retail shops, and companies.
