Custom Eco-Friendly Gifts to Promote Your Business
Auteur: Sarah Roberts
Our custom eco-friendly gifts are a fantastic way to put your brand in the minds and eyes of potential customers, while connecting with your prospects on a deeper level.
The products you choose to market your business with also promote your company's values and priorities, and opting for eco-friendly items demonstrates your commitment to sustainability and the environment.
The Power of Flashbay’s Eco-Friendly Promo Products
All of our custom promotional products have a very long useful life, which reduces waste and makes them great for marketing and developing brand reach while promoting sustainability.
For example, picture your logo on a beautiful insulated stainless steel water bottle placed on desks and carried by the user for years to come or a full-colour presentation of your brand on one of our incredibly useful, recyclable power banks.
Your recipients will not just appreciate the convenience of these items, but also the fact that your business is making an effort to reduce its environmental impact, which could make a big difference in their purchasing decisions.
Find out how our products help protect the environment and why you should choose them for your next marketing campaign.
The Best Eco-Friendly Promotional Products
It's easy to just label our products as being eco-friendly, but knowing exactly how they can benefit your business and the environment helps you make conscious decisions about your marketing materials.
It also allows you to explain this angle to potential leads and clients while holding us accountable as a business.
1) Recyclable Power Banks & Wireless Chargers
Our power banks and wireless chargers are designed with sustainability in mind, right down to their electronic components and lithium batteries. These essential parts can (and should) be recycled to minimise environmental impact.
Specifically, the plastic components of our Core power bank are made with 100% GRS-certified recycled plastic to minimise the impact our products have on the environment.
In the UK, recycling batteries and electronic components is relatively easy. Simply locate a local recycling facility or e-waste collection point that accepts electronic components and lithium batteries. Many local councils provide these services, and numerous retail stores offer take-back programmes.
1) Before recycling, ensure that the power banks and chargers are no longer functional by attempting to repair or reuse them.
2) If recycling is the best option, remove and isolate the lithium batteries from the device. Due to their potential hazards, these require special handling.
3) To prevent harmful chemicals from leaching into the environment, it is important to place the batteries in a designated recycling bin rather than general waste.
By responsibly recycling these components, you contribute to reducing landfill waste and promoting the circular economy, where valuable materials are reused and repurposed, supporting a sustainable future for all.
2) USB Flash Drives Made from Recycled Plastic
Many of our USB flash drives are crafted from recycled plastic, significantly reducing the need for new plastic in our manufacturing processes. This not only helps diminish the demand for raw materials but also reduces overall environmental impact.
Some examples of our recycled plastic USBs are our classic Twister USB, which also reduces plastic usage by avoiding the need for a cap, and our Wafer Flash Drive, which boasts a generous printing area to showcase your branding.
By choosing our sustainable USB flash drives, you’re aligning your marketing efforts with eco-friendly practices that prioritise planet-friendly solutions.
3) Branded Stationery Made from Sustainable & Recycled Materials
Our custom stationery range really shows off our commitment to sustainability with a variety of products made from sustainable and recycled materials.
The barrels of our eco-friendly pens are made from sustainable bamboo wood or recycled cardboard, making them the ultimate eco-friendly choice. Not only are these pens durable, but they can also be recycled again, cutting down on waste through multiple iterations of products.
Take our Helix Notepad, for example. It's a great pick for sustainable marketing products, with a cover and pages that are fully recyclable. The spiral-binding design is more than just a classic design, too – it minimises waste by making it easy to remove the pages and cover for recycling.
Plus, the paper we use is from FSC-certified forests, meaning it comes from responsibly managed sources that benefit the environment, society, and economy.
By opting for our branded stationery, you're actively supporting sustainable practices and promoting eco-friendly materials in your marketing efforts.
4) Reusable Water Bottles & Tote Bags
Our stainless steel water bottles exemplify our commitment to sustainability through their long, useful life and recyclability. Constructed from high-quality stainless steel, these bottles are designed for durability, ensuring they withstand daily use over many years.
This longevity reduces the need for frequent replacements, cutting down on waste and helping you get the most out of your investment.
Even after their service life, our vacuum-insulated water bottles remain eco-friendly. Stainless steel is fully recyclable, meaning the material can be repurposed to create new products, thereby reducing the demand for virgin materials and minimising environmental impact.
Our Weave Tote Bag is crafted from 100% cotton, making it a truly eco-friendly alternative to plastic bags. The natural fibres of cotton ensure that the Compact Tote Bag will eventually decompose naturally, reducing long-term waste in the environment.
But before it reaches the end of its lifecycle, the tote bag's robust construction allows it to be used repeatedly for a multitude of purposes – from grocery shopping to carrying work essentials. This not only reduces the need for single-use plastic bags but also promotes a sustainable habit of reusing materials.
5) Sustainable Wooden Promotional Items
Our range of eco-friendly bamboo products offers not only stylish and functional promotional items but also significant environmental benefits.
These products contain captured carbon, which is stored in the wooden components throughout their life cycle. By choosing these items, you're effectively contributing to carbon sequestration, which helps mitigate climate change.
When the time comes to dispose of these products, it's important to do so responsibly via electronics recycling. The electronic components should be taken to a local e-waste collection point (as mentioned above), while the wooden shell can be left to decompose naturally.
Over time, this natural decomposition process will break down the wood, effectively returning nutrients to the soil without harming the environment.
In this way, our bamboo and wooden promotional items not only serve your immediate marketing needs but also support long-term sustainability goals.
6) Eco-Friendly Merchandise Packs
Our range of eco-friendly welcome merchandise packs features carefully curated combinations of our reusable and sustainable products, making them ideal for giveaway items and onboarding merchandise.
These packs often include items such as our stainless steel water bottles, bamboo pens, recycled notebooks, and cotton tote bags, offering recipients a suite of practical and eco-friendly tools.
Each pack is thoughtfully assembled to reduce waste and promote sustainable living practices.
7) Eco-Friendly Recyclable Packaging Options
We understand the importance of sustainable packaging and marketing items, which is why we offer eco-friendly and recyclable options for all our products.
For our custom drinkware, you can choose cardboard tubes made from recycled materials that can be printed with your logo to create the perfect corporate gift.
These sturdy fully-recyclable tubes not only protect the bottles during transit but also serve as an excellent branding opportunity, allowing you to distinctly associate your company with sustainability.
Additionally, we offer compostable plant-based bags as an alternative to basic plastic bag packaging for our products, which degrade naturally without leaving harmful residues, allowing your clients or customers to simply add the packaging to their compost instead of landfill.
