How can your Company Become more Eco-Friendly?

Did you know 27,000 trees are cut down each day to fulfil the world’s demand for toilet paper? 

In the past 50 years, humans have consumed more natural resources than ever. ‘Going green’ has never been more important.  American companies alone use enough paper to encircle the earth 3 times (The World Counts 2014). Take a moment to think about what your company can do to be more eco-friendly.

 Top 5 tips to make small changes to become more environmentally friendly:

1. Purchase eco-friendly marketing materials (i.e. your promotional merchandise!)

• Why not stick to our eco friendly product range when buying promotional merchandise for your company? Choose from over 7000 products on our website, all of which can be branded and personalised with your company logo at very affordable prices.
• Vibrant eco pencils and pens come in many different colours available on a short lead time. How about dishwasher safe recycled mugs made from SAN plastic? These are available in red, white, green, blue and charcoal grey. For the clumsier among us, they are also non-chip, bonus!
• Treat your customers to a bag for life made completely from 100% Natural materials. With a large branding area you can spice them up and attract attention by pantone matching them to your company corporate colours.
• Or send your client a natural finish keyring made 100% from recycled materials, they are perfect for a direct mail campaign as they are flat and lightweight to send out. 

2. Using alternative transport when commuting into work

• We all generate unnecessary pollution on our solo journeys to work in the car so why not find an alternate way to travel?
• Share lifts with colleagues
• Take the bus or train to work instead
• Be brave and try a skateboard!
• Promote your company’s positive attitude towards being eco-friendly to your customers.

3. Re-use your coffee mug

• How many cuppas do you drink in a day? In our office, it is quite a few!
• Instead of using a fresh mug each time, get your customers to promote branded re-useable mugs. This saves water as well as time doing the washing up (we all know there are never enough hours in the day)    
• These can be manufactured in a wide variety of colours and styles to suit your brands corporate image.

4. Re-use delivery boxes

• How do you send out your promotional items to your customers? 
• What do you use as a label?
• Why not show your customers that you care about the environment and re-use your delivery boxes. Who says top quality products can’t be sent out in recycled containers?
• Contact us to design and procure those stickers for your boxes to show your support to our environment.

5. We just think these are super cute... (and recyclable!)

• What do you call a talkative tea? Chai tea! :)
• Have a giggle in the office at tea time with these promotional re-useable tea stirrers. 
• This is a great conversation starter and will impress customers in client meetings. 

Myths about Eco Friendly Promotional Products:

1. Product price

• Despite popular perception, eco promotional products do not have to be more expensive than the standard variety.  A lot of companies are interested in the concept of the eco-friendly alternative but perhaps do not realise how readily available and competitively priced they are.
• Make your customers aware that they too can make a contribution to saving the planet. By using eco-friendly promotional merchandise, you reduce further damage to the environment and simultaneously you create a positive impression about your company’s eco stance.
• All products can be branded to promote your company logo!

 2. Colour choices

• We can assure you that colour is not an issue when it comes to environmentally friendly promotional giveaways.
• Choose from a wide variety of standard colours or pantone match to get the exact colours you desire.
• Your company logo will never look better!
  

3. Range of items available

• Many people might be put off because they think that the range of eco friendly promotional items is limited, however we beg to differ!
• We have over 7000 eco products on our website... Who knew that there were so many available?
• We can offer a diverse range of eco-friendly promotional products that your company can be proud to brand with your logo. 
• Does your company currently source eco products for their staff and customers?
