I don't know about you but I'm getting more and more concerned about my environmental impact on the world. As a business owner, I think I have a responsibility to run my business in the most environmentally friendly way possible. Once those icebergs have melted, I don't want anyone pointing fingers in my direction. I'm pretty lucky that there isn't much waste in the actual preserving process but our main problem is packaging.
We make regular trips to the recycling centre with the mountains of cardboard boxes that arrive here containing bouquets each week. But I have been getting more and more bothered by the amount of bubble wrap we were using when we courier the finished bouquets back to our brides.
So I have taken the decision to switch to biodegradable recycled bubble wrap. Yes, it's a thing!
It's not cheap and it's got a funny green tinge to it but I actually quite like that. So if your preserved bouquet arrives and you wonder why the bubble wrap looks a little green - it's because it IS green! In more ways than one.
It's just a small change for now and it might only save an ice cube rather than an iceberg, but at least we can say we are doing our bit!
