Smithers-Oasis introduces biodegradable floral foam

At the request of the florist and the consumer and after years of development, Smithers-Oasis is introducing Oasis Naturebase Bio Floral Foam, the world’s first floral foam that is biodegradable.

“Our customers are at the heart of our business,” explains Chris Martens, Managing director of Smithers-Oasis BeNeLux. “After listening to their valuable feedback, we are delighted to announce that we have upgraded the technology of our Oasis floral foam, resulting in a positive impact on the environment.”

Oasis Naturebase Bio Floral Foam’s new formula is designed for modern landfills and attracts microbes that break the foam down into methane, CO2 and organic matter. Testing based on American Society for Testing (ASTM) and Materials standards shows that Oasis Bio Floral Foam will biodegrade for 51.5% within 1 year and 85% within 3 years in biologically active landfill conditions.
