How to Choose Sustainable Promotional Items

Quality, sustainable promotional items last longer. Here are a few materials you should consider when choosing eco-friendly branding solutions.

• Bamboo. 100% natural and biodegradable, bamboo is strong, fast-growing and does not use much water.
• Cork. It is renewable when sustainably harvested from cork trees.
• Organic cotton. Similar to conventional cotton. Farmers cannot use synthetic fertilisers and pesticides during production.
• PET. A 100% recyclable plastic that is clear, strong, lightweight and often used for clothing and bottles.
• RPET. Repurposed PET waste that can be used for shopping bags and other items.

Sustainability in Branding: Eco-Friendly Promotional Items

Tara Slevin makes it easy to choose eco-friendly promotional items. We offer products made from the materials mentioned above as well as items containing wood, wheat straw, jute, or linen. Page through our eco-friendly digital brochure or our bamboo-specific brochure.

The ultimate sustainable corporate gift is a Tara Slevin rosewood pen and pencil set in a rosewood presentation box. Have you been wondering about the wheat straw? We have push-button pens, wireless chargers, and Bluetooth speakers that contain wheat straw. Consider our manual hand fan in wood with cork fabric sheeting as a promotional gift or a microfleece top made from recycled PET.

Going Green: Sustainable Brand Merchandise Choices

Brand the Change is an organisation encouraging users and businesses to leverage the power of their brand for social and environmental change. In an article on making brand merchandise more sustainable, they offer several tips, including the following:

• Choose promotional products manufactured from recycled or biodegradable materials such as organic cotton, bamboo, or recycled paper.
• Don’t add the event date or year to your branded t-shirts and bags. It extends the product’s shelf life, and you can reuse them the following year.
• Brand the merchandise with a slogan or image your target audience will want to be seen with. People will use it for longer, thereby reducing waste.
