Our Eco Friendly Mission

We have evolved to become an Eco Friendly Shop... Conscious of our responsibility as a small business, to reduce the impact we have on the environment and keep our footprint small.

Within The Flower industry, our biggest challenge is Single use plastics, largely via the sleeves our flowers arrive from the growers in, (Then some florists wrap your beautiful flowers in horrible poly plastic wraps to send them to you...sigh!) and the other issue is Traditional floral foam (Did you know 1 brick of floral foam is equivalent to 10 plastic bags! which then breaks down into micro plastics) 

At The Rustic Flower co, We are doing everything we can such as...

Consumables....We use only Biodegradable (or Recyclable where biodegradable options are unavailable) 

-Biodegradable Foam

-Biodegradable and Recyclable bases or Reusable bases such as ceramic pots.

-Biodegradable Water bags - So your flower orders arrive Fresh & Hydrated.

-Biodegradable Wrapping, Ribbons, Cards, Cords & Sticky tape

-Wooden & Reusable card forks

Office....

-100% recycled Printer paper

-Wooden refillable pens

(soon to incorporate)-Thermo printer for labeling/Card messages (no ink)

Waste Management....

Green Waste - Collected for composting

Soft plastics - Collected for recycling

Card board flower boxes - Collected for Recycling 

which leaves us with very little waste for landfill... Yay!

(we're currently still transitioning some items, using up remaining stock)
