At FPP we consider the sharing of content and knowledge to be one of our principal responsibilities. We’ve created FPP Checkout to allow us to deliver against this.

The purpose of this platform is to simplify the consumption of content. With so many sources in both the offline and online world, it’s easy to fall behind on essential reading. Checkout finds relevant, up-to-date information and delivers it to you in one easily-accessible environment. What’s more, we also use Checkout to provide FPP category analysis and opinion whenever and wherever relevant.

Checkout is a platform designed with you in mind. And that doesn’t just apply to the content we deliver, but also the way in which we deliver it. We provide information that isn’t just relevant to the industry as a whole, but relevant to you as an individual.

If you click on ‘My Account’, you’ll be able to select the categorical content that is of interest to you. This will allow us to prioritise the content that we know you like.

We use a number of sources for the articles featured on Checkout. Whilst we won’t necessarily cover all of the publications you access, below is a list of the most common to try and give you as much as possible in one place:

Morrisons ditches plastic from flower bouquets for paper wrap

Morrisons is to ditch plastic sleeves on flower bouquets for brown paper wrapping as part of its ongoing drive to cut down on unnecessary plastic.

In a move that would save 925 tonnes of plastic per year, the retailer today announced it would banish plastic from its flower displays across its entire store network. The initiative follows in the footsteps of independent florists and will see it eliminate the use of some 18.5 million bouquet sleeves by the time the switchover is complete in early 2019.

The retailer said standard Morrisons bouquets would be the first to move into the new waterproof wax paper wrap from September. Single flower bunches and Morrisons’ The Best premium range are set to follow in early 2019. The wrapping is made from 100% recyclable, FSC certified “hydro paper”. It comes as part of Morrisons’ commitment to ensure all its own-brand plastic packaging would be reusable, recyclable or compostable by the end of 2025 after signing Wrap’s UK Plastics Pact.
