Taking care of the same environment that
provides our lifeblood—flowers and plants—
and reducing our carbon footprint has become
a huge focus throughout the flower industry.
Sustainability in the form of incorporating dried
flowers and materials, reusing and repurposing
containers, utilizing eco-friendly packaging
and products, and even exploring alternatives
to floral foam are just a few of the many ways
that florists in the U.S., the U.K. and the EU are
consciously making an effort to go more "green."
Here is a look at several products that are
helping them.
lBamboo-leaf Bowls and Cones
These 5-inch-square bamboo bowls are seen as an
alternative to plastic plates, containers or liners, and
they are all natural, biodegradable, compostable
and regenerative. The all-natural bamboo cones—7
inches long and 2.5 inches wide at the opening—are
seen as a natural alternative to plastic water tubes.
