Sustainability at Homegro
At Homegro, our passion for houseplants extends beyond simply delivering them to your doorstep—we aim to do so in a way that’s eco-conscious and aligned with our vision of a greener future. We strive to reduce our environmental impact through various sustainable practices, from our recyclable packaging to minimizing waste in every step of our process. This commitment to the planet plays a major role in how we operate.
Fully Recyclable Gro Box
Our Gro Box is designed with sustainability in mind. Made from fully recyclable materials, the Gro Box provides an environmentally friendly solution to plant deliveries. This means every box we send out can be recycled, reducing landfill waste. We are continually refining our packaging process to maintain this level of eco-consciousness.
Minimal Packaging Waste
We understand that packaging can be one of the biggest environmental challenges in the shipping industry. That’s why we aim to minimize the amount of packaging material used. Our boxes contain just what’s necessary to keep your plants safe during delivery, while making sure that all the materials are recyclable or biodegradable.
Eco-Friendly Shipping
Shipping plants can be tricky, but we are committed to doing so responsibly. By optimizing delivery routes and reducing unnecessary deliveries, we lower our carbon emissions. We also work with shipping partners that align with our sustainability goals, helping to offset emissions and further minimize our environmental impact.
Promoting Water-Efficient Plants
Our curated selection of plants also plays a role in sustainability. Many of the plants we include in the Gro Box, such as succulents, cacti, and aloe vera, are water-efficient, requiring less water to thrive. By promoting these types of plants, we encourage plant owners to be mindful of water consumption and engage in more sustainable plant care.
Reducing Carbon Footprint
Sourcing our plants locally whenever possible is a key initiative. This reduces the need for long-distance shipping, which helps cut down on our carbon footprint. It also ensures that the plants we deliver are fresh and have spent minimal time in transit, further supporting sustainability.
Fostering a Sustainable Community
Sustainability isn’t just about what we do—it’s about empowering our community to join us in making a difference. We encourage our customers to recycle their boxes, choose water-efficient plants, and care for them using sustainable practices. Through our blog and other resources, we provide tips on how to grow your plants in an eco-friendly way.
