Bloem Easy Pour Watering Can
Bloem
Easy Pour Watering Can 2.6 gal
It works fine, and at this score we do not pretend it is hazardous. It is simply an undisclosed plastic left in the sun, the exact aging path that turns garden plastic into fragments. A galvanized steel can costs more once and effectively ends the repurchase cycle.
The best selling plastic watering can on Amazon. Cheap, light and functional, but it is an entirely molded plastic vessel whose maker does not name the resin, and sun exposure is exactly what ages plastic into fragments.
How this score breaks down
Strengths
- Light even when full, with two handles for control
- Inexpensive and widely available
- Large 2.6 gal capacity means fewer refill trips
Trade-offs
- Maker does not name the plastic anywhere on its own site
- UV exposure embrittles outdoor plastic over seasons and embrittled plastic fragments
- Replacement cycle: garden plastic that cracks gets rebought, steel does not

What's inside
An entirely molded plastic watering can. The resin is not disclosed by the brand; retailer listings describe polypropylene, but Bloem itself does not state a material for its cans, so we print it as not disclosed.
| Part | Material |
|---|---|
| Body, handles, spout | Molded plastic, resin not disclosed by the brand |
- Packaging
- Not stated. Neither the brand nor a vetted retailer discloses packaging.
- Microplastics
- An all-plastic can that lives outdoors: UV exposure embrittles molded plastic over seasons and embrittled plastic fragments. Low abrasion in use keeps shedding moderate while the can is intact.
