Living in an Eco World

Written by: Aisling Graham

With the raising popularity of eco products, it is time to look at how you can use eco products to help you build your brand. Over the last few years, we have seen a huge movement into the range of eco products and now were starting to see a good flow coming through from our suppliers of items that you can select from.

What is an eco-product? An Eco product is a product that contains materials that can be recycled.

#1 DRINK BOTTLES & COFFEE CUPS

The most popular reusable products are drink bottles and coffee cups. Especially when we are living in more of a hybrid environment now, people prefer to use coffee cups that are their own so why not look at coffee cups we have them ranging from glass coffee cups, wheat-made coffee cups and etc all can be found in the sustainable products catalogue. In regards to water bottles, we find that at the moment the most popular reusable drink bottle will be one of the vacuum drink bottles. A number of these vacuum drink bottles we have allowed a full colour print on them.

 

#2 CLOTHING

These clothing are very cost effective; There are also a huge variety of t shirts that are made out of recycled polyester from plastic bottles these are called RPET; we have a range of these garments and they are typical more expensive than regular garments which is due to their process of making. We have a number of clients who love these as they really want to focus on sustainable products. Any branding application can be used on any of the REPT products.

#3 TECH

Even though a lot of the components on tech items are not recyclable, we do have a number of products that are made out of materials that are recyclable. We have products like power banks, chargers, that are made out of materials like bamboo and wheat. Branding of these products vary from lasering to a full colour print

#4 LIFESTYLE

There is a huge range of sustainable options when it comes to tote bags as well as bag packs. We can get bags made out of RPET material; we can create really fun bags using our full colour print. These are a great option for give always, trade shows, conferences or just day to day use.

 

What we need to consider is the consequences of using plastic products in this era and what that look like to your clients. A number of years ago, sustainable products were more expensive compared to how they are now. If nothing else, you should ask for your supplier for alternative options when looking at a standard plastic product and what could you swap that out with a sustainable product and you will be quite surprised at the variety we have.
