Sustainable Floristry with Sideau®: The Plastic-Free Floral Brick Alternative
At No Plastic Floral Foam!, we champion florists and floral designers who are committed to sustainability. Sideau® is at the forefront of the movement, providing an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional floral foam. With the same usability as floral foam but without the harmful plastic composition, Sideau® offers florists a fully biodegradable, plastic-free solution for their designs.
Why Sideau® Is the Sustainable Choice for Florists
Unlike traditional floral foam, which is made from oil derivatives and phenol resin, Sideau® is composed of Earthwool®, a natural product made from basalt, a volcanic rock. It is bound together with Ecose®, a formaldehyde-free natural binder, making it completely biodegradable and safe for the environment.
How Florists Can Use Sideau®
Sideau® is designed to be easy to use for all types of floral arrangements. Whether you work with fresh, dried, or silk flowers, Sideau® provides the same level of support as traditional foam while being safe, reusable, and biodegradable.
- Easy to cut – Use a simple bread knife to shape Sideau® for your arrangements.
- Non-toxic & odor-free – Unlike synthetic floral foam, Sideau® does not release harmful chemicals.
- Water-absorbing – Holds water effectively to keep flowers hydrated for longer periods.
- Reusable & compostable – Leftover pieces can be reused or composted instead of discarded.
New: Sideau® Bags and Corso Blocks
Sideau® is now available in loose bags for florists and in corso blocks measuring 20x20x60 cm. These new formats provide even more flexibility for florists looking for sustainable floral design solutions.
Certified for Sustainable Floristry
Agra-Wool is affiliated with the Barometer Duurzame Bloemist (Sustainable Florist) initiative. Since April 2021, Sideau® has been officially approved by SMK to be included in the list of products that florists with the “Sustainable Florist” certification can use.
