Our Commitment to Sustainability
At Quivscyx, we believe that beautiful flowers shouldn't come at the expense of our planet. Discover how we integrate sustainable practices into every aspect of our business, from sourcing to delivery.
Sustainable Sourcing
We prioritize relationships with local growers who share our values of environmental stewardship and ethical production.
Local Partnerships
We source over 80% of our flowers from growers within 100km of Dunedin, supporting local agriculture and reducing transport emissions. Our partnerships with small family farms help preserve traditional growing methods and regional biodiversity.
Seasonal Selection
By focusing on what's naturally in bloom, we reduce the need for energy-intensive hothouses and artificial growing conditions. Our seasonal approach means your flowers are fresher, last longer, and have a smaller carbon footprint.
Responsible Growing
We partner exclusively with growers who use minimal pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Many of our suppliers employ organic and regenerative agricultural practices that protect soil health, conserve water, and support pollinator populations.
Our Sustainability Principles
These core values guide every decision we make at Quivscyx.
Zero Waste Goal
We're actively working toward a zero-waste operation by composting green waste, reusing water, and implementing innovative solutions to reduce our environmental impact at every stage of our process.
Sustainable Packaging
All our packaging is either biodegradable, compostable, or made from recycled materials. From plant-based cellophane to recycled paper wrapping, we've eliminated single-use plastics from our packaging.
Community Impact
We donate unsold flowers to local hospitals and care facilities, partner with community gardens for composting, and offer workshops on sustainable floristry to share our knowledge and passion.
Our Ongoing Commitment
"At Quivscyx, we recognize that sustainability is a journey, not a destination. We're constantly learning, adapting, and improving our practices to reduce our environmental impact while continuing to create beautiful floral experiences. We invite you to join us in this commitment to a more sustainable future."
