Dolce Vita Flowers are an award winning florists with premises in both Aberdeen City and Inverurie in Aberdeenshire.
Before working with One Stop Waste Solutions (OSWS) all of Dolce Vita’s waste was being landfilled.
In September 2015, Dolce Vita came on board with OSWS and set up a waste management system worthy of special mention — one that confirms them as a true 'Not-For-Landfill' company:
All ”Green Wastes” like their flower cuttings, stems and stalks; tea bags, used paper towels and any food wastes, are segregated for separate collection to be composted locally. This compost is then used by either local farmers, horticulturalists, landscape gardeners or by domestic markets to help condition the soil of the north east of Scotland and of course grow the flowers, plants and food of tomorrow.
All Cardboard, Paper, Cans/Tins and Plastic (including packaging wastes) are collected as part of a “Mixed Recycling” service. These wastes are then recycled.
Grammatically it holds together, but it's wordy and repeats "then" and "waste":
All general waste is sorted at One Stop Waste's facility with a view to further recycling. The vast majority of what remains is then sent to 'Waste to Energy', where it's converted into electricity for the national grid by incineration.
Through recycling, composting and waste-to-energy, Dolce Vita Flowers are currently averaging 98% 'landfill diversion' across both sites!
