Green walls can transform any area, from a wall in a home to a commercial space, into a lush, relaxing haven. Made from artificial plants, Vistafolia’s green walls are easy to install and upkeep, yet because we use plastics, some people are concerned about their environmental impact. You may be wondering how using artificial plants made from plastics can be sustainable, so we’ve compiled this guide to set the record straight and show our commitment to being environmentally friendly.
Fully Recyclable Artificial Green Walls
We don’t want any part of our artificial green walls ending up in landfill, so we make them to be fully recyclable, both chemically and mechanically. Mechanical recycling means that our products can be taken apart through actions like disassembly, sorting, washing, and drying, before being ground down or regranulated. Chemical recycling means that our products can be chemically altered to be reused as raw materials for new products. Being able to reuse our walls at the end of their lifecycle means that new plastics do not need to be produced, lowering our impact on the environment.
Responsibly Sourced Packaging
Another way in which we are committed to sustainability is by using packaging that is responsibly sourced, as well as recyclable. By doing so, we are furthering our goals of being an environmentally friendly company while lowering our carbon footprint.
Using Expert Formulas to Create Our Products
As well as our recycling initiatives, we are also keen to make sure that our products are made with care. That is why we are working with the University of Surrey and the government in a programme called Knowledge Trust Partnership. This is to help us create our products using environmentally safe formulas, which is something that is still new in our industry. With this in mind, we aim to produce our artificial walls without harming any natural resources.
Other Ways Our Artificial Walls are Green
Our green walls provide an attractive array of artificial plant life that brings a stand-out design to any area. If you were to do this using real plants, not only would it take a lot of time and expertise to grow, but you would also need to use water and fertilisers to keep real plants healthy. By choosing Vistafolia, you can get the visual benefits of a lush, plant oasis, without having to use chemical fertilisers or pest controls that can be damaging to the environment.
Sustainability is a key issue across many different industries, and for us it is especially important that our products do not impact the environment. Using artificial plants allows us to transform any space with the look of nature, yet with minimal maintenance. In choosing us you can rest assured that you are buying from a company that cares about the environment and looks toward a greener future.
