Eco friendly merchandise, branded with your logo

More of your customers and staff now expect the businesses they deal with to think about their impact, and promotional merchandise is one of the most visible places to show that you do. An eco friendly product is made from sustainable, recycled or responsibly sourced materials, or it replaces something that would otherwise be used once and thrown away. Either way, it says something good about your business every time it is picked up.

Our team has over 25 years of experience supplying promotional merchandise across the UK. As members of the BPMA, the British Promotional Merchandise Association, we source from more than 100,000 branded products, with greener options in almost every category, and you can see the rest of the range on our promotional merchandise page.

Our Eco Friendly and Sustainable Range

Greener options run through almost every category we supply, from recycled merchandise to natural materials, so choosing sustainable merchandise does not mean settling for less. These are the eco friendly promotional products our clients ask for most, and one of our team will happily point you at the right one for your audience and budget.

What Makes Merchandise Eco Friendly?

There is more than one way for a product to be greener, and it helps to know which one you are buying. Some items are made from recycled material, such as recycled PET made from used plastic bottles. Some use natural, renewable materials like bamboo, cork and organic cotton, which also makes them a good plastic free option. Others earn their place by being reusable, so one bottle or mug takes the place of hundreds of disposable ones.

It is also worth thinking about the end of the product's life. Recycled means it was made from something that already existed. Recyclable means it can go back into the system once it is finished with. Biodegradable means it breaks down naturally. A good eco range usually mixes all three, and we can tell you which applies to each product before you order.

Why Sustainable Merchandise Works for Your Brand

Eco products tend to be useful products, and useful products get kept. A reusable bottle or travel mug is used week after week, so your logo is seen far more often than it would be on a throwaway giveaway. It also puts your merchandise in line with your values, which matters to customers, to your own staff and more and more to procurement teams who ask where products come from.

Choosing Products You Can Stand Behind

A green claim only helps your reputation if it stands up. Ethical sourcing is at the heart of what we do, and we will be clear with you about what each product is made from, so you can talk about it with confidence. When in doubt, pick the item people will use the most: the greenest promotional product is the one that never ends up in the bin. You can read how we work in our ethical and sustainability commitment.

Eco Gift Boxes and Branded Clothing

Eco items work well together. Put a bamboo pen, a notepad and a reusable bottle into one of our corporate gift boxes. If you are branding clothing too, organic ranges such as Stanley/Stella are available across our personalised clothing. For more on the materials themselves, read our guides to sustainable promotional merchandise and why bamboo is such a sustainable choice, including the bamboo t-shirts we print.
