Blooming with Purpose: How the Floral Industry Can Embrace Sustainability

Sustainability isn’t just a trend — it’s a responsibility. Every bloom deserves a journey that honors the planet and the people who make it possible. From growers to supermarkets and florists, every step in the floral chain has the power to make a difference.

Why Sustainability Matters

“Sustainability is a mindset — a way of working that balances business goals with environmental responsibility.”

By making small, conscious choices, we can reduce waste, conserve resources, and protect the beauty of flowers for future generations.

Who Can Make a Difference?

• Growers – Using efficient irrigation systems, natural pest control, and reducing single-use plastics.
• Transporters – Optimizing delivery routes and switching to recyclable or reusable packaging.
• Wholesalers – Stocking planet-friendly products like:
  • ✔️ Chrysal FlowPro 2 – Reduces water waste and labor time with its efficient dosing system.
  • ✔️ Chrysal Professional 2 Double Concentrate – Less packaging and transport impact thanks to its concentrated formula.
• Florists & Supermarkets – Training staff, reducing shrink, educating customers, and offering sustainable solutions such as:
  • ✔️ Bio-Based Sachets – Made from renewable plant-based materials.
  • ✔️ Paper Sachets – 100% recyclable and easy for customers to dispose of responsibly.
  • ✔️ Arrive Alive Eco – An eco-friendly hydration system for flower transport that eliminates the need for buckets and reduces water waste.
