Our Eco Policy
Join Us in Creating a Greener Future
Here at Plant Designs, we believe that taking care of the environment is a collective responsibility. That’s why we consider our environmental impact, and are trying hard to become more sustainable in the ways that we carry out our work.
Committed to change
In recent years we have changed our suppliers of certain products and services we use everyday, all with the aim of operating more sustainably.
We work digitally where possible and use recycled paper materials when it’s not. Our waste management company is entirely green – we’ve also switched to responsible energy providers in our offices. Even our toilet paper is eco-friendly.
OUT AND ABOUT
When visiting client sites our staff walk or use public transport wherever possible. All day-to-day maintenance is done this way. Our team only use vans when we have to, for installations and transporting goods.
REDUCE, REUSE, REHOME
When planning short-term installations and events we use careful calculations to ensure we only order the plants we need, cutting down on any unnecessary shipping. Then, when the event is over, we reuse and rehome as many plants as possible for other installations, giving them a new lease of life.
A GREEN CHRISTMAS
In all of our Christmas displays we use high-quality replica foliage, which avoids the needless destruction of hundreds of real trees every year. Because we buy premium quality replica trees and store them carefully each year, we can get anywhere up to 5 years’ commercial use out of a single tree before we re-home them, donating old trees to charity organisations across London.
