Sustainable houseplants

Sustainably grown plants are something that makes us all happy, right? At Plant World we have as much love for nature as we do for our plants. That's why we strive to do what's good for both. Would you like to know more about what sustainability means to us and therefore also to you? Then read on!
 

Sustainability at Plant World

A sustainable choice

At Plant World we care about our planet and nature. That is why we think it is important to grow plants in a sustainable way. This way our customers can enjoy beautiful houseplants that are also good for the environment.

We blijven onszelf elk jaar verbeteren om onze planten nog schoner, duurzamer en eerlijker te telen. We willen namelijk nog vele jaren onze klanten voorzien van prachtige groene vrienden, zonder daarbij de duurzaamheid uit het oog te verliezen.

Om bij te dragen aan een gezonde natuur, gebruiken we al jaren geen middelen die onder de groep Neonicotinoïden vallen. Deze middelen kunnen namelijk bijdragen aan de bijensterfte in Nederland. Wij zijn er trots op dat we op deze manier ons steentje bijdragen aan een betere wereld voor ons allemaal.

Continuous sustainability

Some examples of what we are doing at our locations in Groningen and Westland:

– Gas-free on Hoenderparklaan: this greenhouse is heated by geothermal heat

– Active use of reusable trays or shipments without packaging

– Our sustainable line 'Feel Green' is completely plastic-free

– Use of growing pots made from 100% recycled material

– Collection and reuse of rainwater for watering our plants

 
Sustainability is a process that we are continuously working on and that we would like to discuss with you. 
 

Biological crop protection

At Plant World we are committed to a sustainable and natural approach to growing our plants. We use biological crop protection, such as predatory mites and parasitic wasps, to minimize the use of chemical pesticides. The Airobug helps us to distribute the biological crop protection efficiently and evenly in the greenhouse.

Daarnaast gebruiken we het NatuGrow-systeem, wat staat voor Natural Growing (Natuurlijk Telen), om onze planten weerbaarder en gezonder te maken. Op deze manier ontstaan er planten die minder gevoelig zijn voor ziektes als Pythium, Fusarium, Meeldauw en Botrytis. Bij Plant World streven we ernaar om onze planten op een natuurlijke en gezonde manier te laten groeien, zodat ze een duurzame keuze zijn voor onze klanten.
