PLASTIC RECYCLING PROGRAM
While many of our plant material products are now available in biodegradable pots, plastic pots, trays, and cell packs are still a reality in our industry. Take advantage of our Plastic Recycling Program! Simply bring back your plastic with most dirt and debris removed and we will arrange for the plastic to be recycled. As of 2011, we have partnered with our clients to divert over 11 tonnes of plastic from local landfills!
PAPER PROGRAM
In line with aiming to minimize our ecological footprint is our partnership with FSC and SFI printers who support environmentally responsible paper sources. Our invoices, receipts, and client literature are printed on sustainable sources of paper. In most cases, we use 100% post-consumer recycled product!
BAG PROGRAM
We still offer bags for your purchases; however, each bag is degradable and can be reused in your green bin.
