Sustainability
We take sustainability and our environmental impact seriously. As a business we are continually reviewing, changing and improving our practises to ensure our carbon footprint is as small as can be.
Our impact
We are dedicated to protecting and improving our planet, with a clear commitment to enhancing sustainability. While we already have strong policies in place, we continuously refine our approach. Through annual monitoring, we promote best practices and ensure our suppliers consistently uphold the highest standards.
Designed to last
We always choose the very best materials to ensure our products keep their appearance, colour and structure so they can be enjoyed for a lifetime, instead of ending up in landfill.
Reduce, re-use, recycle
As there is no need to regularly purchase real plants, this helps reduce deliveries, minimising transportation emissions and contributing to a smaller carbon footprint.
Plant a tree scheme
We are planting a tree for every bespoke order we receive, meaning with your help we can give back to the earth, helping to offset emissions and balance out the impact we make.
Save on maintenance
Our lifelike products are designed to be indistinguishable from living plants, offering the same natural beauty and appeal, without any of the hassle or maintenance that real plants require.
Renewable energy
Heating and powering our building
We’re committed to 100% renewable energy, powering our buildings with solar panels and a biomass boiler. Our boiler uses timber from BSL0542394-0001 registered suppliers, sourced from managed forests grown for energy—ensuring no deforestation or habitat loss. By using sustainable energy, we reduce our carbon footprint and support a greener future.
Recycling
We recycle and reuse packing wherever we can
Any cardboard that comes into our business that would usually be considered waste is either reused in our packaging or is bailed into bundles using our cardboard bailer. These bundles are supplied to a local company who turns the waste cardboard into shred. This shred is supplied to other companies, offering a sustainable packaging alternative to bubble wrap and polystyrene. Since we have started reusing cardboard boxes where we can, it's encouraging to see virgin cardboard orders are noticeably reduced.
GIVING BACK TO OUR PLANET
Our plant a tree scheme
For every bespoke order we receive, we pledge to plant a tree. With your help, we can give back to the earth and contribute meaningfully to combat climate change.
Planting trees is one of the most effective ways to offset carbon emissions, and we take this responsibility very seriously. For every tree we plant, we are offsetting one pound of carbon which means that every bespoke order contributes towards reducing our collective carbon footprint.
We understand the impact of carbon emissions on the environment and our future, and we are proud to take this step towards a greener future. Our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility is at the core of our values.
Sustainably managed woodlands
We only use decommissioned trunks and branches
All of our real trunk bespoke trees feature decommissioned trunks. Managed woodland farms are the perfect way of giving trees a second chance. Older, mature trees limit the growth of younger trees and are cleared to promote new growth. It's from these trees we get our trunks, preserving their natural beauty and features in the form of a life like replica.
WHEN IN DOUBT PEDAL IT OUT
Our cycle to work scheme
As a team that resides in the area, we strive to encourage a sustainable workplace and support our staff’s well-being. That’s why we proudly offer the bike-to-work scheme, which enables our employees to cycle to work. This promotes physical health and cuts transportation costs and aligns with our environmental commitment to reduce pollution.
Quality over quantity
Our products are designed for life
Our products and builds are thoughtfully made to stand the test of time, unlike single-use items that quickly end up in landfills. To achieve this longevity, we meticulously select only the finest materials, ensuring that our products maintain their appearance, colour, and structural integrity for years to come. In addition, our commitment to quality craftsmanship and sustainable practices ensures that our customers can cherish their purchases for generations.
