THE SOLUTION
Instead of treating flowers as single-use-straight-to-landfill products, we can divert this negative impact and give flowers and a second life through upcycling, repurposing or composting (which helps create organic topsoil and mulch and house a new place for things to grow).
THE BENEFIT
Because of the hustle and fatigue of event breakdowns, most reusable items end up in piles of garbage bags the end of the night. However, reusing floral mechanics (water tubes, chicken wire, 3M hooks, lomey trays, moss) and limiting floral foam use can lead to hundreds of dollars in cost-savings at the end of the year for clients and florists alike.
