We are looking at all of our packaging and one of the steps we are taking is introducing the first sustainable flower food sachet”. The sachets are composed of industrial compostable material of plant material. This means the sachets are biodegradable.The sustainable sachet contains Chrysal Universal flower food (powder) that keeps flowers beautiful up to 60% longer.

The company is testing several alternatives to increase sustainability and to reduce packaging materials. Recently they placed 900 solar cells on the roof of their head office in Naarden, the Netherlands. A big part of the energy is now from a sustainable source, reducing 165,000 kg CO2 per year.
