Our ongoing mission for sustainability 💪
We’re excited to announce that we’ve partnered with @compost.uk , joining their mission to make our industry greener and improve sustainability.
Here’s how we’re working together:
Com:post will now be collecting our floral waste, taking it from our studio and converting it into compost for future growth. 🌱
We believe strongly in this cause and are excited to be starting this journey with a brand whose values align so closely with our own. 💚
Here’s to new beginnings! ✨

What actually makes compost… compost?
In the UK, high-quality compost isn’t just “organic waste left to break down”.
It’s produced to strict standards.
To be sold and used commercially, compost is typically made to PAS100 — the UK’s recognised quality standard.
That means:
• Controlled input materials
• Managed composting process
• Regular testing
• Certification to ensure it’s safe and consistent
Because not all compost is the same.
And not all waste treatment creates something valuable.
At COM:POST, the floral waste we collect is processed through certified composting sites — turning it into a product that can be returned to UK growers.
Not waste.
A resource.
Because how waste is processed matters.
And what it becomes matters even more.

FAQ’s 🌱
Most florists don’t actually know where their waste goes.
If it’s going in general waste, it’s likely landfill or incineration — and there is a better way.
We get asked the same questions all the time:
→ Where does it go?
→ Is it easy to use?
→ Will it cost more?
→ Is it genuinely sustainable?
So we’ve answered them.
At COM:POST, your floral waste is:
✔ Collected separately
✔ Turned into high-quality compost
✔ Returned to UK growers
A true closed-loop system. No landfill. No incineration. No greenwashing.
And it fits into your workflow, not the other way around.
If your floral waste is still going in the bin… it might be time to rethink it.
🌱 Join our free trial and see the difference.
What happens to your bags of floral waste after we collect it? 🌱
In just 16–20 weeks, your COM:POST bags and their contents are transformed into high-quality compost.
Collected from florists → taken to our composting partners → carefully processed → and returned to the soil to support UK growers.
And importantly — the compost created meets PAS100 standards.
PAS100 is the UK’s benchmark for compost quality. It ensures that the material is:
• Fully broken down and safe to use
• Free from harmful contaminants
• Nutrient-rich and suitable for agriculture
In short — it’s not just compost, it’s certified, high-quality compost that can go straight back into growing.
This is how floral waste becomes part of something bigger 🌿
Turning Floral Waste into Growth.
April marks Earth Month — a moment to pause and reflect on the role we all play in the systems around us.
In floristry, the conversation around sustainability has grown significantly over the past few years.
Not just in awareness, but in action.
From how flowers are sourced,
to the materials we use,
to how waste is managed at the end of its life.
There is still a long way to go — but there is also real progress being made across the industry.
Later this month, Earth Day (22nd April) will bring that conversation into sharper focus.
Its purpose is simple:
to support environmental protection and encourage collective action at every level — from individuals to entire industries.
For us, it’s a reminder that meaningful change doesn’t come from one moment.
It comes from the systems we choose to build — and be part of.

COMPOSTING IN ACTION 🌱
Being fully transparent about our #closedloopsystem has always been important to us and one of our core values, so what better way of showing this that inviting florists to check out for themselves what happens to all the floral waste when it leaves their shops and studios.
We visited @shortsgroupltd site in Berkshire and learned all about the composting process and answered all the questions that the florists had about how it works.
#floralwaste #sustainablefloristry #sustainableflowers #floristryindustry
Yesterday was a big moment for us at COM:POST.
We welcomed a group of London florists to our London composting site — to show, first-hand, what happens to their waste once it leaves their studios.
For us, this was about transparency. For our customers, it was about seeing the impact they are part of.
Every bag in this photo represents floral waste that hasn’t gone to landfill or incineration — but instead is being turned into high-quality compost, supporting UK growers.
20 months on, this idea is now a working system — built alongside London’s floristry community. And this week, as we begin expanding across the UK, it felt important to stop and recognise what has been achieved. This isn’t just our story.
It belongs to every florist who said yes early on.
