Sustainable choices you can make to combat paper waste in your floral business:
In a world where our choices ripple across the planet, there’s an art to living consciously, and it starts with the decisions we make. Today, we explore why choosing eco-friendly floristry supplies should be more than a fleeting thought – it should be an intentional, mindful choice that resonates with our shared responsibility to the environment. At Eco Flower Supplies, we’re passionate about creating floristry supplies that not only elevate your creative endeavours but also contribute to a greener, more sustainable future. Throughout this blog we unpack the impact that choosing eco-friendly floristry supplies can have on our planet and why it’s a choice worth making.
Within the world of floristry, a concerning issue often goes unnoticed: paper waste. Startling statistics shed light on the extent of this problem. In the United Kingdom alone, the floral industry collectively generates a staggering amount of paper waste. This waste primarily arises from disposable packaging and single-use paper materials, inadvertently contributing to a significant environmental challenge.

These choices not only reduce our environmental impact but also address the sobering statistics associated with paper waste in the floral industry.
