Did you know that we're industry pioneers in using plastic-free caps? According to the United Nations, an estimated 12.5 million tons of plastic are used annually in global agricultural production. Plastic pollution poses a significant threat to our environment and ecosystems. By pioneering plastic-free solutions like our caps, we're not only reducing our ecological footprint but also setting an example for the industry. Transitioning to sustainable practices isn't just about environmental responsibility; it's also about securing a healthier future for generations to come. Let's join hands in promoting sustainable alternatives and creating a greener, more resilient industry together. #Sustainability #PlasticFree #GreenFuture #Bloom&Go #colombianflowers
