For me, sustainability is also about reducing waste. There is an insane amount of plastic and other non-biodegradable, fossil-fuel derived products used in traditional floral operations that become waste sent to landfills (which are large contributors to methane and CO2 in the atmosphere). Think about 20 million plastic sleeves used to package those 250 million roses – and that’s just roses – and that’s just in the US alone. At Molly Oliver Flowers, we use recycled brown paper to wrap flower bouquets, as well as recycled paper tags, and raffia – all compostable. Composting all of our floral waste is really important to me, and we are lucky to work with some urban farms that will accept the mostly organically-grown flower waste we bring.
