Rooted in Every Operation Sustainability

Our Purpose

Blooming Haus exists to show that floristry can be environmentally honest and socially responsible at every stage, from how flowers are grown to how they are designed, used, and returned to the earth.

We work to fair conditions for our team, our freelancers, and our suppliers, and we use our position to raise what the industry considers acceptable, holding ourselves to the same standards we advocate for. 

IMPACT: The evidence, to date.

Where we are rooted

75% reduction in market-based emissions from reported baseline

Measured and verified annually by Planet Mark, the studio’s carbon accounting demonstrates action 

0 waste to landfill

Nothing we produce ends up in the ground. Every waste stream - flowers, film plastic, candle wax - goes somewhere useful instead. 

78% overall repurposing rate

Nearly 8 in every 10 kilograms of material that leaves our studio gets a second life. Compost, confetti, construction materials, new candles, design-led homeware. 

Where we are reaching

Scope 1, 2 & 3 emission inventory

We're mapping the full carbon footprint of our supply chain - every flower, every delivery, every supplier. Target: 2030. Towards SBTi alignement. 

80% emissions reduction by 2035

Nearly 8 in every 10 kilograms of material that leaves our studio gets a second life. Compost, confetti, construction materials, new candles. 

Reasearch & development

Supply chain human rights mapping: in progress. We're auditing the working conditions behind every flower we source - starting with our international growers. 

Blooming Haus is committed to precise, verifiable claims across all external communications - including social media, client proposals, and press. We do not make unsubstantiated environmental claims.

NOTHING WASTED

Five loops. Each one commercially self-sustaining. Waste we no longer wanted became the raw material independent businesses needed. 

LOOP 01

Green waste > organic compost (Com:post) - Established 2023. Spent flowers, stems, and foliage are composted and returned to British growers. Nutrients go back to the soil that grows future blooms. A closed biological loop.

Result: Between April 2025 – March 2026, 15,145.89 kgs of green waste collected from studio operations generated 11,359.42 kgs of compost.

LOOP 02

Post-event blooms > biodegradable confetti (Confetti Club) - Established 2023. Flowers are sorted by colour and condition, dehydrated for four hours without bleaches, dyes, or preservatives. All profits donated to Cancer Research UK. 

Result: Between April 2025 – March 2026, ~1,550 used/old flower heads were provided to Confetti Club, producing ~175 litres of confetti.

LOOP 03

LDPEs > homeware (Weez & Merl) - Established 2024. LDPE film - rejected by most kerbside collections - is transformed into design-led vases and homeware

Result: From April 2025-March 2026, 56.2 kgs of LDPE was diverted from general waste.

LOOP 04

Film plastics > construction material (Recorra) - New in 2025. Hard-to-recycle flexible films are processed into Stormboard: a durable, recyclable plywood alternative.

Result: The initiative began in July 2025, with 85 kgs of flexible plastics channelled through this service between then and March 2026.

LOOP 05

Event candle wax > new candles (Recycled Wax) - Established 2024. Spent event candles -often with over half the wax remaining - are reprocessed into new candles rather than sent to landfill.

Result: Between April 2025 and March 2026, 91.8 kgs of used candle wax was diverted from landfill and sent to upcycling partner Recycled Wax. Avoiding approx. 44.2-59.9 kgCO2e

Zero waste to landfill isn't something we did alone. Five loops. Five partners. One system.

PROTECTING INSECTS WITH WILDFLOWERS – YOUR EVERGREEN GUIDE

The UK’s insect populations are in significant decline, with research suggesting losses of nearly 60% among flying species in under two decades. Wildflowers — once abundant across the British landscape — offer one of the most effective and accessible ways to reverse this trend.

EQUITY BY DESIGN.

Blooming Haus is committed to justice, equity, diversity and inclusion across our operations, client relationships, and the communities we work within. Our commitment centres the people most often excluded: by race, by economic background, by age, by gender, by sexual orientation. It is reviewed annually against measurable actions, not intentions.

CONDUCT.

Blooming Haus is committed to precise, verifiable claims across all external communications - including social media, client proposals, and press. We do not make unsubstantiated environmental claims. Where we reference certifications, data, or targets, these are independently verified or internally documented.

Our approach to ethical marketing, inclusive language, and AI-generated content is set out in our [Ethical Marketing & Communications Policy]. Everything we measure, in one place.
