Sustainability at Barbican Flowers

Eco-Friendly Flowers Barbican: Our Promise to the Planet

At Barbican Flowers, sustainability is more than a buzzword—it's at the heart of all we do. We recognise that our Barbican customers and local businesses value a greener approach to flower gifting and decor. This commitment drives us to constantly improve our environmental footprint, offering not just beautiful arrangements, but also peace of mind that your purchase supports a healthier planet.

Eco Packaging for a Cleaner Tomorrow

Traditional flower packaging often creates unnecessary waste, but Barbican Flowers is setting a new standard with our eco-friendly packaging. We use recyclable, biodegradable, and compostable materials wherever possible, minimising the use of plastics without compromising the elegance and safety of your bouquet. Our delicately designed wraps and sturdy delivery boxes are selected to protect your flowers while treading lightly on the environment. Even our ribbons and tags are sourced with sustainability in mind, ensuring each detail is as eco-conscious as your unique arrangement.

Local Sourcing for Freshness and Reduced Emissions

One of the key ways we provide sustainable flower delivery in Barbican is by working closely with local growers and trusted British suppliers. By selecting flowers that are grown closer to home, we reduce transportation distances, cut down on carbon emissions, and deliver fresher, longer-lasting blooms. Local sourcing not only supports our region’s thriving horticultural community, but also ensures seasonal variety and minimizes energy used in out-of-season flower production. When you choose Barbican Flowers, you’re also supporting a vibrant, resilient local ecosystem.

Fairtrade and Ethically Sourced Flowers

For those special arrangements that require blooms from overseas, Barbican Flowers is committed to procuring from Fairtrade-certified farms. This means your bouquets support fair wages, safe working conditions, and sustainable agricultural practices for growers around the globe. We avoid flowers associated with poor labor conditions or unsustainable farming, so your gesture brings joy—not just to recipients in Barbican, but to everyone involved in the journey.

Low-Carbon Vans: Greener Flower Delivery Barbican

Clean delivery is crucial to our eco-friendly promise. Barbican Flowers uses a fleet of low-emission and electric vans, ensuring that every delivery across Barbican leaves a reduced carbon footprint. Our route planning is optimised for both efficiency and sustainability, allowing us to serve multiple customers in one journey and decrease overall emissions.
