This is not just something we feel intuitively; it is also scientifically proven. Since you spend a lot of time at the office, plants are indispensable there as well. Greenery in the office offers several advantages: <\/a><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Pure air<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Plants possess active properties that purify indoor air of harmful substances. This is no unnecessary luxury, as these substances are linked to discomfort and illnesses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Studies have shown that indoor air is 12x more polluted than outdoor air. A green plant ensures that this polluted air is filtered and dangerous substances are broken down. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Aesthetic added value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Plants help determine the atmosphere your office radiates \u2013 for both your employees and your visitors. Interior greenery can be integrated into a company in many forms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a balanced selection in the style of your choice, you make a good first impression and emphasize your image.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Better acoustics <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Plants absorb sound and break up reflections. In this way, they contribute to better acoustics<\/a> and dampen the sound of, for example, colleagues in a telephone conversation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green walls and moss walls also perform excellently as acoustic insulation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Favorable humidity <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Especially in winter when the heating is on, the air in the office is often too dry. Air conditioning and insufficient ventilation are also culprits. Our respiratory tracts are put to the test. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plants benefit humidity by evaporating water. In this way, plants help compensate for the dry air caused by heating. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Higher productivity <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A green environment improves the mood, promotes the ability to concentrate, and reduces stress. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies are increasingly investing in thoughtful designs for the modern work environment. Under “The New Way of Working” with flexible workspaces, knowledge sharing, and dynamic work environments, people often seek custom solutions in which green plants can play an important role. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Greater well-being <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Scientific research shows that the presence of greenery promotes general well-being. The reason: we lived among plants much longer than in settlements. Because our genes have remained virtually unchanged, we still function better in a green environment today. <\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14569,"parent":0,"template":"","inzichten-category":[378],"class_list":["post-13930","inzichten","type-inzichten","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","inzichten-category-inspiration"],"acf":[],"mb":[],"mfb_rest_fields":["title"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pga.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/inzichten\/13930","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pga.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/inzichten"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pga.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/inzichten"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pga.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14569"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pga.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13930"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"inzichten-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pga.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/inzichten-category?post=13930"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
