Our Approach to Sustainability

Planteria believes it’s essential for businesses to adopt sustainable practices that protect both people and the planet while maintaining ethical standards. We are dedicated to delivering our services in ways that reduce environmental impact and foster a workplace where people can thrive. We understand this is a priority for our clients as well, and we are committed to providing solutions that support their sustainability goals.

As part of this commitment, we are working with sustainability consultants to assess our business and shape our sustainability strategy. This partnership will help us continually improve our processes and drive meaningful progress for both people and the planet. By taking a strategic approach to sustainability, we aim to:

 – Improve the quality of life

 – Protect ecosystems and natural resources

 – Preserve wildlife and biodiversity

 – Secure a better future for generations to come

 – Prevent exploitation of people and resources

This is an exciting time for Planteria, and we’ll ensure our team, clients, service partners, and communities stay informed about our progress. We’ve already implemented several sustainable practices and innovations—read more about what we’ve been working on below.

Expert Planting Advice and Care = Long Lasting Planting

When we design plant displays for our clients, we select the best plants for each environment, considering factors like light levels, temperature, and the purpose of the space. We provide regular, professional maintenance to help the plants thrive, ensuring they last longer and always look their best.

Peat-Free substrate for Interior Plants

At Planteria, we offer a peat-free planting system. Nearly 100% of our interior plants are now grown in our innovative soil alternative—Ecoponic.

Officially classified as a Vulcaponic rock, this pure mineral mix of pumice and zeolite remains structurally stable, preventing breakdown or compaction. This stability keeps the substrate airy, allowing roots to absorb more oxygen for healthier, longer-lasting plants.

Ecoponic also offers:

  • Cost savings – holds water for longer so less maintenance visits needed
  • 100% Peat Free – protecting vulnerable peatlands
  • Reduces water use – it can absorb 44% of its weight in water
  • Less chance of flies or pests

Reduce, Reuse, Re-cycle

We’re always looking for ways to reduce waste by recycling and reusing materials whenever possible. At Planteria, we love nature, and we’re proud to play our part in reducing emissions and minimizing the demand for raw materials. Here are a few ways we’re doing this:

  • Sustainable Flower Transport: Our weekly fresh flower displays are packed using fully recycled packaging, which we reuse each week.
  • Recycling at HQ: We’ve placed recycling bins throughout our headquarters, making it easy for our team to sort and recycle packaging and other waste.

Sustainable Products

Plastic is a versatile material found almost everywhere, but it remains one of the most significant environmental challenges our planet faces. At Planteria, we’ve taken proactive steps to offer more sustainable options, including:

  • Pots Made from 100% Recycled Waste – Giving discarded materials a second life.
  • Pots Produced with 100% Wind Energy – Harnessing renewable energy for greener production.
  • Pots Made from Recycled Materials – Including marine debris, artificial grass, textiles, and more.
  • Planters Crafted from Upcycled Pallets – Reducing waste through creative reuse.
  • Biodiversity-Supporting Exterior Plants – Featuring pollinator-friendly species and habitats.

By choosing our sustainable products, you help reduce plastic waste and promote a healthier, more balanced environment.

Supporting Our Client’s Sustainability Ambitions

Many of our clients have implemented ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategies, recognizing the interconnected importance of these pillars in running a responsible, sustainable, and successful business. As a sustainable supplier, we support our clients in achieving their goals through initiatives such as:

Provide Biophilic Design and Planting in the Workplace

We believe the future of work lies in creating people-centric spaces that prioritize employee well-being. Research, including studies (such as the Three Field Experiments and The Economics of Biophilia) consistently shows that biophilic design—incorporating plants into the workspace—triggers positive emotions, reduces stress and absenteeism, and enhances productivity and creativity.

Attracting, Retaining and Engaging Talent

Organizations want their workspaces to reflect who they are and what they stand for. Introducing beautiful, well-designed planting can elevate the office environment, making it more inviting and appealing to current and potential employees. Biophilic elements can also help combat sick building syndrome, a condition where indoor environments contribute to various health issues. In fact, employees often report higher job satisfaction and performance when surrounded by natural elements.
