Planet.

Flowering for the future.

We are committed to putting the planet at the forefront of everything we do.

The way we operate isn’t always the cheapest way of doing things but caring for our planet and delivering against exacting environmental standards is non-negotiable for us. Reducing a negative impact is simply not enough. We want to make a positive impact wherever we tread - from ensuring our packaging is manufactured in the UK and is 100% home compostable to sending 0% of our waste to landfill since 2017.

PACKAGING

We are proud to be a 100% plastic-free florist, using packaging that is either home compostable and/or home recyclable.

Twine - Our 100% natural Nutscene twine is manufactured in Scotland from rain-fed, fast-growing, CO2 reducing crops using traditional and ethical methods. 

Our twine can be home composted or re-used

 

Natural rubber bands - Our rubber bands are manufactured in the UK and made from the sap of rubber trees in renewable plantations in Thailand. The sap is harvested from each rubber tree for 25 years (its productive life), using a harmless process called tapping. At the end of its productive life, the tree is used for timber products. New trees are planted continually. 

Our rubber bands can be home composted or re-used

 

Branded wrapping paper and flower sleeves -  Our signature gift wrapping paper is manufactured in the UK from FSC-certified paper with no glossy coating which means it can be composted at home (or put in your home recycling). Our branded Bloomguard sleeves are manufactured from 100% natural and sustainable paper stock and printed with water based inks.

Our branded paper and sleeves can be home composted or home recycled

 

Paper tape - Our custom paper tape is manufactured in the UK and is made from FSC-certified paper.

Our branded paper  tape can be home composted or home recycled

OUR PARTNERS

It is really important to us that we partner with teams that share our values and commitments to all aspects of sustainability.

Hoek Flowers - our flower supply partner.

Hoek are part of the FSI initiative, their 60,000 Sq M building is 100% gas free, 75% (so far…) of their energy comes from their own solar panels, and they have a 4,000 Sq M ‘green roof’ which the University of Leiden are using to research which greens and mosses attract the most insects, birds and bees, and what type of green roofs are most beneficial to the environment.

Our flowers arrive in Hoek’s famous pink flower boxes which are made from recycled materials and are re-used up to 200 times.

Whilst different types of flowers are grown all over the world, Hoek flowers is committed to global sustainability. Two such examples are

• Flowers that fly - when transporting specialist flowers across the globe, Hoek’s chosen airline partner, KLM, is the greenest and most sustainable.
• Hoek flowers works closely with local communities and flower farms in Columbia, Kenya, and South Africa - this means paying fair wages, investing in local infrastructures, and ensuring fair working practices.

First Mile - our waste partner

We have partnered with First Mile since 2017 and they send 0% of our waste to landfill. In a throw away world, we are incredibly proud of our 100% recycling waste record. In the last 12 months, over 5.5 tonnes of our waste has been recycled, saving 6 tonnes of CO2 and 44 trees

Compost UK - our green waste partner

In June 2024 we started working with Compost UK. Simply put, all our floral green waste is collected by us in specialist compostable paper sacks, and then taken to be responsibly recycled into high quality compost for the agriculture and horticulture sectors.

DPD - our UK wide delivery partner

DPD is committed to being the most sustainable home delivery company on the planet.
