Our commitment to sustainability

We have nature to thank for beautiful flowers, so we’re doing our bit to preserve and care for it. After-all, if we all make a few small changes, together we can make a big difference.

Here’s what we’re doing:

In lots of our designs we’re using kind to the planet packaging with our eco-friendly gifts boxes, biodegradable cellophane, biodegradable flower food sachets and 100% recycled ribbon*.

Eco-friendly gift boxes

Lots of our gift boxes are made using fully recycled materials. You’ll find the Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) logo inside these boxes, proof that we’re committed to keeping forests healthy and happy.

Fully recyclable (or upcycle your box if you’re feeling creative!)

Biodegradable cellophane

Cellophane keeps your blooms snug and safe when they’re on the move. So we’re now using a new cellophane that biodegrades up to five times quicker than standard florist wrap where we can.

Breaks down naturally, no need to put it in the recycling.
Does not leave any microplastics behind after degrading.
Printed in the UK to help reduce our carbon footprint.

Biodegradable flower food sachets

The flower food sachets that arrive with our Interflora designs are completely biodegradable and have been since August 2020.

Breaks down naturally within the same amount of time as a banana skin or orange peel.

100% recycled ribbon

The signature Interflora gift ribbon is now made right here in the UK, using 100% recycled plastic.

Disposing of your flowers

You can do your bit to help the planet too and don’t forget to pop everything in the right bin!

We’re always looking for other ways we can make a difference, get in touch if you’ve got any ideas for us.
