The Plant Creative Ltd. Sustainability Actions

Plants and ESG benefits

Plants improve air quality, aid in carbon sequestration, and enhance energy efficiency, contributing significantly to ESG goals. Plants are natural air purifiers. They absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen, helping to improve air quality. Incorporating plants in office spaces and urban areas aids in carbon sequestration. Strategically placed plants can regulate indoor temperatures, reducing the need for excessive heating and cooling.

Peat-free compost

The Big Plant Nursery only stocks peat free bagged compost. The benefits of peat free compost include that it holds moisture well and releases nutrients slowly, over a long period of time. Ancient peat bogs are being depleted resulting in a loss of habitat for wildlife and releasing harmful greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.

Recycling and reuse

We recycle all of our plastics, cardboard, glass, paper waste and ink cartridges. We have a dedicated area for recycling ceramic pots. The team also try and reuse pallets and pots where possible. We have worked hard to remove polystyrene from all our packaging.
