Sustainability first, our environmental philosophy
The mix of the vacation buying season and the worldwide local weather talks makes this a fantastic alternative to be intentional and make choices we are able to be ok with. As a enterprise, we’re dedicated to offering backyard providers and merchandise which might be good for folks and for the planet.
This philosophy has by no means been extra essential than over the previous yr as we designed and developed our new Freyr trellis. Creating any product has inherent environmental penalties. Realizing this, our purpose has been to supply a product that’s the best choice obtainable: aesthetically, functionally, and environmentally. To ensure our trellis is a sustainable product, we centered on just a few key concepts:
-
Sturdiness: As a substitute of creating a short-lived product that must be changed each few seasons, we wished to make a product that might final for many years. The purpose is that the Freyr trellises you purchase are the final trellises you ever want.
-
Compostability: The twines and trellis clips that decorate our trellis are all compostable. We hate to see plant particles tossed into the landfill simply because it’s intertwined with the plastic and nylon trellising supplies usually obtainable at backyard shops.
-
Recyclability: Our trellises are produced from powder-coated aluminum and, do you have to ever resolve you’re completed gardening (and don’t need to cross alongside the trellis to a different grower), it may be recycled.
-
Carbon-neutrality: We’re nonetheless engaged on mitigating our carbon footprint for the product. It’s been tough to completely know our impression whereas the product is so new. Our plan is to offset all carbon related to the manufacturing and distribution of your trellis, and ideally extra, in order that we are able to proudly promote a carbon-negative product. One which offsets extra carbon that it produces. We’ll maintain you posted as we clear up this downside in its entirety, however please know that we’re within the strategy of figuring this out.
We love you!
