How might a surplus floral delivery service go beyond simply supplying flowers to partnering in other businesses’ sustainability goals?
Flower delivery websites are impersonal and cluttered, creating the paradox of choice for consumers. It's also estimated that about 20% to 30% of flowers in the global floral industry end up as waste, and beyond the stems themselves, floral delivery businesses produce a high volume of single-use waste.
Finally, while climate change is a top concern for modern consumers and businesses alike, “going green" can feel overwhelming and costly.
