Outcome life cycle analysis flower or plant covers
The choice is vast when using flower or plant sleeves: paper, virgin* plastic or plastic sleeves made from recycled materials. What is the environmental impact of these sleeves and which is the most sustainable choice?


Outcome life cycle analysis plant trays
There is a lot to choose from nowadays: reusable, single-use plastic or cardboard plant trays. What is the environmental impact of this packaging?
