Wheat The Family: The Best Wheat Straw Promotional Products

With the desire for eco friendly promotional products growing ever stronger, you can rely on Total Merchandise to provide a variety of green solutions for your business.

Included within our huge range of eco-friendly branded merchandise, we have a selection of promotional products that are made from wheat straw fibres.

Okay - so what is wheat straw? Put simply, it's the leftovers that remain once wheat has been harvested. Previously considered to be a chuckable by-product, wheat straw fibres are now used as a reclaimed material that can be used in everything from food containers to clothing. 

Why Should Businesses Consider Wheat Straw Promotional Merchandise? 

  • Choosing eco-friendly promotional products is a great way to demonstrate that your brand takes its corporate social responsibility (CSR) seriously. Items that have sustainable, recycled or responsibly sourced origins are ideal for showing your business is aware of environmental issues.
  • It can have a positive impact on your staff, with employees seemingly preferring to work for a business that has a stance. Figures shared by Impact Reporting show that around 66% of people would prefer to work for a company that has a 'social compass', with 75% of the millennial demographic happy to take a pay-cut if it meant working for an organisation with ethical awareness. 
  • On a similar monetary note: don't be put off by connotations of eco-friendly products costing more. Research conducted by YouGov found that half of UK consumers would happily pay more if it meant cutting down the volume of plastic usage involved.

Factor all that in and there's no better time to give some consideration to eco friendly promotional products for your next marketing campaign.
