No Plastic Floral Foam! Supports the Florist-Led Sustainability Shift in 2024
Floral designers are at the forefront of the sustainability movement in floristry, shaping trends and driving meaningful change. At No Plastic Floral Foam!, we champion florists who are committed to environmentally responsible practices and provide them with the tools to transition away from plastic-based floral foam. The rise of biodegradable floral blocks like Sideau® is a testament to the industry's shift towards sustainability.
The Evolution of Sustainable Floristry
With events like the Chelsea Flower Show banning plastic floral foam in 2020, the floral industry has taken significant steps toward sustainability. An increasing number of florists are turning to alternatives like Sideau®—a natural, biodegradable floral block—aligning their craft with the global push for environmental responsibility.
Why No Plastic Floral Foam! Supports This Shift
The rise of biodegradable floral materials is not just a trend; it’s a necessity. At No Plastic Floral Foam!, we advocate for industry-wide adoption of sustainable materials. The transition to Sideau® and other eco-friendly solutions helps reduce the floral industry's plastic footprint while maintaining the artistic integrity of floral designs.
Florists Leading the Way
Florists and event designers are increasingly choosing plastic-free floral foam alternatives to reduce environmental impact. Sideau® is becoming a preferred choice due to its biodegradable composition and ability to absorb and retain water effectively. However, sustainability in floristry requires a collective effort—every step in the floral supply chain must embrace change.
Breaking Away from Plastic-Based Floral Foam
The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) made a bold statement by banning plastic floral foam at the Chelsea Flower Show. This move underscored the need for florists to take actionable steps in shifting away from traditional floral foam. Sideau®, made from Earthwool®, a natural basalt-based material, provides florists with an eco-friendly alternative.
Floriculture Sustainability Trends for 2024
As the demand for sustainable practices grows, florists who embrace eco-friendly materials will position themselves as industry leaders. Consumers are increasingly prioritizing sustainability, pushing the floral industry to evolve. Those who resist adopting sustainable materials risk being left behind.
