What Kind Of Item Qualifies As An Eco-Friendly Promotional Product?

We stock a wide range of eco-friendly promotional products, with a variety of different criteria defining them as eco-friendly. These include...

• Is it reusable? Does the item mean the user no longer needs to use disposable products? If a product can be reused rather than binned after a single use, it contributes towards green-living practices.
• Is it recycled? Is the item constructed from recycled materials, such as plastic or paper?
• Is it responsible? Has the product been designed from sustainable natural materials that have been ethically sourced, such as bamboo or cotton?

Why Consider Eco-Friendly Promotional Merchandise? 

There are a variety of obvious advantages to choosing eco-friendly promotional merchandise for your next marketing campaign. Of course, the obvious benefit is, fundamentally, that you will be playing a small part in helping the environment, as well as subtly educating your customers and colleagues on eco-savvy causes.

Another benefit? Choosing eco-friendly promotional products is a great way to demonstrate your company's eco-credentials, demonstrating your business takes its corporate social responsibility (CSR) seriously. And there are all sorts of reasons why a strong approach to CSR is essential; for example, according to recent research, 67% of employees would sooner work for a company with a social conscience, whilst 94% of Generation Z-er's believe companies should 'address critical issues', according to stats shared by Impact Reporting.
