What is Aquaponics?
Aquaponics is the marriage of aquaculture (raising fish) and hydroponics (the soil-less growing of plants) that grows fish and plants together in one integrated system. The fish waste provides an organic food source for the growing plants and the plants provide a natural filter for the water the fish live in.
Breakdown of the Aquaponics Cycle
Aquaponics
Granger Plastics Company was integral in the rotomolding design and implementation of a custom rotationally molded Aquaponics System. This system, consisting of a grow bed, a fish tank is the perfect first time Aquaponics enthusiast or the long term aquaponics expert. When coupled with the steel grow bed stand with casters for a neat but flexible arrangement that allows an indoor or outdoor aquaponics experience.
Rotational Molding and polyethylene is a safe and perfect durable option for the molded construction of the aquaponics sets. Offered in Granite stone-like finishes, the systems are beautiful enough to complement indoor decor while capable of withstanding some of nature’s toughest outdoor elements including freezing temps, UV from the sun and more! Thanks to the ultra-resilient polyethylene construction of the Aquaponics sets, the material is capable of expanding and contracting with temperature changes without cracking.
Purchasing a high quality complete system takes the guesswork out of this type of gardening. The many benefits of growing your own food quickly return any investment into setting up a system. While many types of containers can be used to make an Aquaponics system, rotationally molded polyethylene is the preference of many experienced gardeners due to the durability and compatibility of the material with the plants and fish. Systems can be set up small then expanded by adding additional grow beds or fish tanks.
Aquaponics Features
- Food Grade Material
- In-house manufactured grow bed stand
- No soil needed
- Durable material means no cracking
- Safe for indoor or outdoor use

"Solutions Beyond Expectations"
Not all polyethylene is created equal — especially when it comes to rotational molding.
LLDPE vs. HDPE. Melt index. UV stability. Pigments. Reprocessed material. Molded features. Long-term outdoor performance.
Choosing the right resin can have a huge impact on how a rotationally molded product performs, processes and holds up over time.
We put together a detailed guide covering some of the biggest factors that go into polyethylene selection for rotational molding — including the kind of real-world lessons that only come from actually making parts.
If you design, source or manufacture plastic products, this one is worth a look.

32 years isn’t something you stumble into.
It comes from solving difficult problems. Designing better parts. Building better tooling. Learning from decades of production experience — and continuing to invest in what comes next.
Since 1994, The Granger Plastics Company has helped turn ideas, engineering challenges and demanding applications into rotationally molded products built for the real world.
We’re proud of 32 years in business.
But what excites us more is the next project.
If your company has a product that’s too large, too complex, too corrosion-prone, too difficult to manufacture — or simply needs a better way to be made — we’d like to hear about it.

How much does rotational molding really cost?
The answer depends on more than just the price of plastic. Tooling, part size, geometry, material selection, production volume, finishing requirements, and secondary operations can all affect the final cost of a rotationally molded product.
We put together a practical guide explaining the major factors that influence rotational molding costs—and what companies should consider when evaluating a new project.

Rotational Molding vs. Injection Molding — which process is right for your product?
The answer depends on more than just part shape. Tooling investment, production volume, part size, durability, materials, wall thickness, and long-term manufacturing economics can all influence the best choice.
We break down the strengths, limitations, and ideal applications of both processes in our latest article on RotationalMolding.com.
