The More Sustainable, the Better: No Plastic Floral Foam! Backs Sideau® as the Biodegradable Floral Foam Alternative

At No Plastic Floral Foam!, we believe that sustainability should be at the forefront of the floral industry. As floral professionals seek eco-friendly alternatives, Sideau® has emerged as a leading biodegradable floral foam alternative that aligns with environmentally responsible practices.

Why No Plastic Floral Foam! Supports Sideau®

Plastic pollution is a growing crisis, with over 300 million tons of plastic produced annually—half of which is for single-use items. The floral industry plays a crucial role in reducing this waste by embracing plastic-free solutions. Sideau® offers florists a biodegradable and sustainable alternative, eliminating the need for traditional oil-based floral foam.

What Makes Sideau® Different?

Sideau® is a reusable and fully biodegradable alternative to traditional floral foam. Unlike oil-derived foams, Sideau® is crafted from Earthwool®, a natural material made from basalt, a volcanic igneous rock. It is bonded with Ecose®, a natural binder free from acetylates and formaldehyde, ensuring a completely eco-friendly product.

The Role of Biodegradability in Sustainable Floristry

Understanding biodegradability is essential for floral professionals looking to transition to sustainable materials. A biodegradable product naturally breaks down into organic matter without harming the environment. Sideau® is designed to decompose efficiently, leaving no toxic residue behind.

Sideau® vs. Traditional Floral Foam

• Fully compostable – Unlike plastic foam, Sideau® does not contribute to microplastic pollution.
• Reusable – Its structure allows florists to reuse it for multiple designs.
• Water absorbent – Holds water effectively to keep flowers fresh for longer.
• Safe for the environment – Free from harmful chemicals and plastic residues.

How to Use Sideau® in Floral Arrangements

Sideau® is easy to cut, shape, and use for all types of floral arrangements, including dried, silk, and fresh flowers. It can also be reused or composted after use, making it a practical choice for florists who prioritize sustainability.
