Our Footprint
Flowers are a beautiful business, but they can be a wasteful one. Here’s what we do about that — honestly, including the bits we’re still working on.
we dispose of our waste thoughtfully and carefully
We believe it’s our responsibility to reduce the amount of waste we create every day. We separate our green waste where possible, along with soft plastics, cardboard and general recycling — minimising what goes to landfill.
Any flowers that don’t make it into a bouquet are sent to our provider to be turned into a range of composted products, or dried as part of our everlasting range.
we only buy what we need and what you want
We work with Brisbane-based suppliers so we’re only ever buying what we need, which cuts waste right at the start of the chain rather than at the end of it.
Where we can, we buy from local Queensland growers — fewer emissions, and it supports Australian farms — and we choose the best freight options available for getting our products here.
we choose eco-friendly packaging
We do our best to use recyclable, reusable or biodegradable packaging wherever possible, and we design our flowers to be sustainable through recyclable glass vases and natural twine.
what are we working on next?
We’re always looking for ways to help our planet be here for many generations to come, and to keep building on our journey to be greener. These are our first steps towards becoming carbon neutral — we’re learning and developing our approach as we go, and it makes us pretty happy to know we’re doing our bit where we can.
Got an idea for us?
If this is your passion too and there’s something we could be doing better, we’d genuinely love to hear it. We don’t have all the answers — we’re just having a proper go.
