When decorating homes, events or commercial spaces, flowers are a very popular choice. As consumers' awareness has increased, more and more people have begun to question: Are flowers really sustainable? Surprisingly, artificial flowers can be a better choice than flowers. Let's take a look at some of the main environmental advantages of using artificial flowers, and why making this change for your business and customers is a wise and sustainable decision for you and your customers.
One of the biggest environmental problems with fresh flowers is the large amount of water needed for their cultivation. Whether it's the irrigation system of large flower farms or the process of moisturizing fresh-cut flowers after harvest, it is extremely water-consuming. Artificial flowers do not require water and can remain in their best condition.
💡 Professional advice: Highlight the water-saving advantages of artificial flowers in your marketing materials. This is a simple and powerful way to attract environmentally conscious buyers.
At Ouli, we realize the importance of water conservation. Choosing our artificial flowers represents that you are directly saving precious resources, compared to similar fresh flowers, which can reduce water consumption by 98%.
Fresh flowers typically travel thousands of miles from farms to flower shops and retailers. This global supply chain generates a lot of greenhouse gases, including those from the refrigeration and air transportation of flowers. On the other hand, artificial flowers usually only need to be transported once, can be stored multiple times and reused, and their transportation carbon footprint during the entire life cycle is significantly reduced.
✈️ Professional advice: Educate your customers to choose artificial flowers by enjoying realistic flowers while reducing your carbon footprint.
Ouli' perspective: we are committed to optimizing logistics, concentrating transportation as much as possible, and extending the lifespan of our durable designs to minimize the impact of single transportation's carbon emissions.
The cultivation of commercial flowers requires a lot of pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers to produce flowers that look perfect, which pollutes local water sources and harms other organisms. Artificial flowers absolutely eliminate this concern. There is nothing chemical needed to keep them looking fresh and fascinating.
♻️ Professional advice: Emphasize that artificial flowers are a safer, chemical-free alternative for humans and the planet.
Oulis' perspective: we are very strict in product manufacturing to ensure that our realistic flowers do not contain harmful chemicals for humans and the environment, leaving us with pure beauty.
Flowers are commonly used for weddings, parties, and corporate events, and they are discarded after being used for a few hours or days. They end up as organic waste that often ends up in a landfill. By using artificial flowers, event planners can reuse the flower arrangements for several occasions, reducing waste and costs.
