The product is certified with a 4-star OK biobased rating from TÜV Austria, the highest possible score. The new floral foam is developed to offer the same properties and performance as traditional petroleum-based oasis foam. According to Smithers-Oasis, the product has a 56% lower carbon footprint compared to their regular foam. It contains no dyes and has a gray-green color when dry, which turns deep black after saturation with water.
OASIS® Renewal™ Floral Foam is designed for use with all types of flower stems, from delicate to woody and tropical varieties. The product is initially being introduced in North America, Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, South Korea and Japan. Florists can request free samples to test the foam themselves before it becomes available for purchase later this year.
