Earth friendly promotional items, Forgotten?
There seems to be a slight decline in the number of companies that are purchasing earth friendly promotional items. in 2008 people were spreading a message of ecological friendliness, using earth friendly items to promote thire business venture, corporate branding or organisation.
Earth friendly promotional items are recyclable, sustainable and usually biodegradable. They can be printed with a logo or branding sometimes using screen print, or embossing / stamping etc. The brilliant thing about earth friendly promotional items is not only the message they promote, or the fact that people find them far more interesting and a far greater keepsake, It is that they will break down if thrown away and do not clutter up our planet.
Earth friendly pencils, pens, keyrings, lanyards, drink bottles and just about anything plastic you can think of can be reproduced from recycled plastic. and hundreds of other earth friendly items are all being produced this way by innovative companies within Australia.
Things to remember are wether the item is truly biodegradable or made up of a certain percentage of earth friendly matter, if the earth friendly item will hold your printed logo without it rubbing off and fading, And also if the item will actually last long enough to spread your message. Cheap earth friendly items are usually low quality items that fall apart before the recipient has even had a chance to use them! Terrible!
Some examples of earth friendly items include a pen manufactured from recycled plastic cups, that not only is made from recycled items but can then be melted down and re made into something else.
Or perhaps it is the innovative PET Lanyards made from recycled poly ethylene terepthelate! (Recycled cups to you and I!) this particular item can even be photo printed with your gradients and images.
A misconception that is all too common is that eco friendly items do not offer the same branding and customisation options as those made from virgin raw materials. This is no longer true! contact your promotional item retailer and see if they can manufacture you an earth friendly items campaign.
