Sustainability practices in a project

Indoor Plant Solutions - NATIONWIDE

The Tour de Cure project reflects Indoor Plant Solutions commitment to sustainability through intentional design and operational rigour. Our motivation extends beyond environmental responsibility to measurable outcomes: minimising waste, conserving energy, and reducing carbon emissions. Over 150 ex-rental plants were revitalised through our Twice as Green initiative, while seven standard-range pots and client-owned tambour units were reused, preventing new production and landfill contributions.

Sustainability practices within your company

Green Design Indoor Plant Hire - NSW

For our business, sustainability is not an optional extra. It is the foundation of how we operate and how we plan for the future. Our motivation stems from the growing urgency of climate change, increasing client demand for sustainable partners, and the knowledge that our industry is uniquely positioned to influence healthier, greener built environments.

Small Installation

Evergreen Interiors - QLD

This project was for an existing customer in an existing space we serviced that was having major renovations and improvements. The client had already selected all the finishes and design elements they wanted for the space and allowed us to make design suggestions for our portion of installation.

Medium Installation

Advance Plants - QLD

QT Gold Coast wanted a cohesive plantscape that could unify multiple hospitality spaces—restaurants, spa, café and pool terrace—yet remain flexible for seasonal re-styling and events. The brief called for bold, tropical planting that matched the hotel’s five-star character, while also being practical for high guest traffic and easy to reposition. Lightweight, durable containers were non-negotiable to allow mobility without sacrificing plant health.

Large Installation

Green Air - NZ

We collaborated with the Unispace Wellington team to reimagine the atrium of the Majestic Centre, Wellington’s tallest building. The space was given a new lease on life through a biophilic installation that transformed the building’s main entrance. We incorporated 40 individual gardens that spans both sides of a two-level escalator atrium. Our brief was to work within the joinery units and create an outstanding display that welcomes people into the building and reconnects them with nature.

Long-Term Installation

Green Air - NZ

The Victor Apartments comprises 56 apartments and eight penthouses, as well as ground-floor retail and hospitality. The defining feature of this building is the incredible, full-height ‘living’ atrium brought to life with greenery and intersected by criss-crossed sky bridges that provide resident access to their homes.
