Can polypropylene outdoor flower boxes be designed with self-cleaning surfaces?

Polypropylene outdoor flower boxes are popular for their durability, lightweight design, and resistance to weathering. But can they also incorporate self-cleaning surfaces? Advances in material science suggest that polypropylene can be treated with hydrophobic or photocatalytic coatings to repel dirt and break down organic matter. These innovations could reduce maintenance while keeping planters looking fresh. Self-cleaning polypropylene flower boxes would be ideal for urban gardens, balconies, and high-traffic areas where frequent cleaning is impractical. While still emerging, this technology holds promise for low-maintenance, long-lasting outdoor gardening solutions.
