Sustainability

Our ongoing commitment to maintain and improve our planet

At TreeLocate, we have amassed over 25 years of experience in manufacturing and supplying artificial trees, flowers, and foliage. Our commitment to crafting premium-grade products has earned us a global reputation as a trusted provider in the industry, and our products are widely recognized as the best in the market, thanks to their remarkable realism.

We take sustainability and our environmental impact seriously. As a business, we are continually reviewing, changing and improving our practices to ensure our carbon footprint is as small as can be. We have a set goal to enhance our sustainability. However, we already have brilliant policies in place. We conduct annual monitoring to promote best practices and ensure our suppliers continuously uphold these standards.

Waste not pack not!

Our commitment to sustainable shipping

We are committed to reducing waste and minimizing our environmental impact. To achieve this, any cardboard typically considered waste gets repurposed in one of two ways. First, it is reused in our packaging to minimize the use of virgin materials. Alternatively, it is baled using our cardboard bailer and supplied to a local company specializing in transforming waste cardboard into shreds.

This shredded cardboard provides a sustainable alternative to traditional packaging materials such as bubble wrap and polystyrene, known to have harmful environmental impacts. We are proud to promote eco-friendly options for these materials and reduce our overall waste output.
Since implementing our cardboard reuse program, we have seen a significant reduction in our use of virgin cardboard, which is a promising step towards achieving our sustainability goals. However, we remain committed to finding innovative solutions to reduce waste and operate sustainably.

Growing responsibly for a greener tomorrow

Sustainably managed woodlands

Our bespoke trees are crafted exclusively from decommissioned trunks and branches sourced from managed woodland farms. These trees are carefully cleared to promote new growth, and we’re proud to preserve their natural beauty and features in our life-like replicas.

A warmth that won’t cost the earth

Heating and powering our building

Using renewable energy is vital to a sustainable future, and our business takes this responsibility seriously. We have made a commitment to 100% renewable energy, which means that we use only natural resources to power our buildings. Our solar panels are a vital part of this effort, harnessing the power of the sun to generate electricity that we use to operate our business.

In addition to solar panels, we also use a biomass boiler to heat our buildings. This boiler uses timber from BSL0542394-0001 registered suppliers as fuel. We use wood from carefully managed forests and woodlands, where trees are grown specifically for energy. We ensure that this timber has not been deforested, meaning that we are not contributing to destroying natural habitats or losing biodiversity.
Using renewable energy sources and sustainable timber reduces our carbon footprint and promotes a greener, more sustainable future. We believe every business is responsible for acting sustainably, and we’re proud to be doing our part to protect the planet.

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

From small succulents to grand bespoke trees, each of our creations is 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.

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.
