Lamboo Dried & Deco successfully calculates CO2 footprint of dried flowers

NETHERLANDS – Lamboo Dried & Deco recently announced its ability to calculate the carbon dioxide (CO2) footprint of its dried flowers, shedding light on the environmental impact of its products.

The company emphasizes the growing importance of sustainability in today’s market. “The question, ‘How sustainable is something really?’ is becoming increasingly important in our society.In collaboration with Greenhouse Sustainability, we have gained in-depth insight into the sustainability of our products,” said a representative from Lamboo Dried & Deco.

According to the company, its dried flowers have a notably low CO2 footprint, indicating minimal environmental impact. “Our trendy Vibrant bouquet, made up of various dried flower types and color schemes, has a CO2 emission of just 0.53 kg. This figure encompasses everything from sowing the flowers to harvesting, drying, packaging, and preparing for transport—essentially from cradle to gate,” the representative explained.

To put this in perspective, they noted that this CO2 footprint is comparable to making a cup of coffee with milk or sending an email with an attachment.

In contrast, the average CO2 footprint of a bottle of wine is 1.3 kg, while that of a chocolate bar is 1.78 kg.

Lamboo Dried & Deco goes beyond measuring CO2 emissions. The company actively adopts sustainable practices in its operations. “But that’s not all! We use Dried Flower Based Paper made from our own dried flower waste, and we do not use plastic—only cardboard and paper tape,” the representative stated.

Additionally, the company operates with 360 solar panels and energy-efficient LED lighting, which significantly reduces its ecological footprint.

The company’s commitment to sustainability includes local cultivation, which not only supports the community but also reduces transportation emissions.

The long shelf life of dried flowers, coupled with responsible and non-refrigerated transport, enhances their environmental advantages. The biodegradability of the products further contributes positively to their low impact.

The dried flowers market is experiencing significant growth. As of 2024, its market size was estimated at approximately USD 1.96 billion and is projected to reach USD 2.70 billion by 2031, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.50% during the forecast period.

This increase reflects the growing popularity of dried flowers for various applications, including home decor, gifts, and culinary uses.

Their sustainable and long-lasting qualities make them an attractive alternative to fresh flowers, which drives their increasing demand.
