Material Matters: Why the Showercan is Made Differently

Material Matters: Why the Showercan is Made Differently

Highest quality materials and values

At KIAKOA, we believe good design should look beautiful, work flawlessly, and tread lightly on the planet. That’s why we’ve gone to great lengths to source only the best high-grade recycled plastic for the Showercan.


Beautiful. Functional. Sustainable.

Recycled materials aren’t always known for their consistency or finish. We’ve worked closely with our manufacturing partners to ensure the Showercan not only meets the highest functional standards but also feels at home in modern, design-led interiors. The result is a material that’s strong, and reliable, without compromising on sustainability.

The Next Step: Ocean Plastics

Our long-term ambition is to make the Showercan from recycled sea plastics — tackling one of the most urgent environmental issues of our time. At present, sourcing ocean plastic at the quality and consistency we demand is a challenge. But it’s a challenge we’re committed to solving. Every Showercan sold helps us invest in that future.

Verified and Responsible Manufacturing

We’ve visited our factories in person and can guarantee that:

Sources are legitimate - we know where our materials come from.

Working conditions are excellent - clean, modern facilities with respect for people at every step.

Processes are efficient - minimising waste and maximising resource use.

Guided by Our Values

The Showercan is built on KIAKOA’s core values:

Knowledge — We research, test, and innovate to make sure our materials and methods stand up to scrutiny.

Care — For people, plants, and the planet.

Trust worthy & Reliable — Products that work well, last long, and do what they promise.

Passion — About reducing waste and improving daily life.

Altruistic — Because sustainability only matters if it helps everyone, not just a few.


The Showercan is more than a watering can. It’s a small, everyday reminder that better choices are possible — stylish, practical, and sustainable all at once.
