Sustainable Gifts & Sourcing
Sustainability Is Key to Our Future
The world is finally waking up to fact that we must improve the way we look after our planet. Not to sound too dramatic, but having a liveable future on the surface of the Earth depends on us all taking action.
We know the numerous issues surrounding sustainability are complex, but to make a start is far better than doing nothing. That is why we are working hard to develop new products that are much kinder to the environment.
We can audit the products you use and discuss converting them to more sustainable alternatives.
Below we highlight some environmentally friendly merchandise that make for excellent, viable alternatives to your promotional gifts:
Sugar Cane Bio Bottles
Recycling and upcycling are very important, but to improve our environmental future we need to use recyclable alternatives to plastics. With this in mind, we introduce our organic sports bio-bottle, made of sugar cane.
To be exact, it’s made from Braskem® Green Polyethylene which is derived from sugar cane ethanol – a renewable raw material that during the growth cycle absorbs and repairs CO2 in the atmosphere, significantly reducing greenhouse gases.
It does not taste or smell like plastic (as regular plastic bottles do) and is BPA-free, plasticizer-free and dishwasher safe. So, make a statement with your brand and replace your plastic bottles with bio-bottles and help us ensure a cleaner environment for all.
Sustainable Branded Clothing
Make sure your brand is making the right statement and be part of the sustainability revolution. Order Stanley Stella garments with direct-to-garment digital printing and get the most sustainable solution on the market. Stanley Stella’s mission has been to create high quality clothing in the most responsible and ethical way. Using 100% GOTS certified organic cotton and recycled polyester, Stanley Stella garments are certified to the highest standards.
What direct-to-garment printing offers:
Backed by water based vegan friendly printing inks your garments really can reinforce a brand’s sustainability credentials. All this packaged up with photorealistic prints, limitless colours, no setup charges, low MOQ’s and print-on-demand opportunities, makes this our sustainable masterpiece.
Sustainable Umbrellas
This mini umbrella has a fabric cover made with recycled plastic bottles and a bamboo handle. To produce the umbrella cover, plastic waste is collected and cleaned, then made into granules. The granules are heated and melted to create a polyester fibre that can now be woven into a material used for the umbrella cover. And the handle is made from bamboo, which is a very sustainable material.
Of course, the umbrella has to excel in all other areas too. Well, it has a convenient automatic open/close function for quick opening and closing via a push-button on the handle, it features a high-quality windproof system for maximum frame flexibility in stormy conditions, and it’s supplied with a protective sleeve. It also has plenty of branding options, so there’s really no need to look elsewhere for your umbrella requirements.
Sustainable Coffee Cups
Thanks to recent publicity, we are all now aware of the overwhelming coffee cup problem – 99% of disposable coffee cups are not recyclable and millions end up in landfill every year. One solution is for people to start using a reusable coffee cup (almost all coffee shops now accept them) and this could do wonders for both the environment and your brand.
We have an extensive range of reusable cups and travel mugs in an assortment of colours, sizes and styles. Most cups have a large print area for your branding requirements.
The reusable Bamboo Fibre Coffee Cups shown here are made from naturally grown organic bamboo fibre (so very biodegradable) and come with a silicone lid and grip. They’re highly durable, dishwasher safe and come in a coffee shop friendly 270ml size.
Sustainable Stationery
Sometimes sustainability starts with the smallest thing. The humble pen that everybody still uses is traditionally made out of petroleum-based plastic. Not surprisingly, it doesn’t degrade. However, we’ve got a range of pens that are biodegradable, making them very environmentally friendly.
These ballpoint pens are manufactured with a revolutionary material called PLA (Polylactic Acid). It’s derived from 100% renewable natural fibres and not from petroleum, so it has far less environmental impact. Another great sustainable stationery item is our A5 sized bamboo notebook. These come in a wide range of colours and are great for all employees or as a promotional gift item. Get in touch today to see our full set of sustainable stationery products.
Re-Usable Stainless Steel Bottles
Here you can see the stunning Buzzy Bee designed bottle we supplied in a recyclable Buzzy Bee gift box. This bottle is a product for longevity made from stainless steel but ultimately recyclable to become another steel product. These 500ml bottles can be printed all over and can be supplied in a printed gift box. Designed to keep your drinks cool for 24hrs and hot drinks warm for 12hrs.
No need to buy bottled plastic water bottles, just take this bottle with you and refill it instead! Increasingly the products we manufacture and supply tick many boxes regarding sustainability and reducing our carbon footprint. Are you looking at switching your promotional products to sustainable alternatives? Get in touch with us today to see how we can help create a greener planet together.
Sustainable Solar Power Banks
If you are conscious of sustainability and want a device that shows you buy into the idea of alternative sources of energy it can have a great benefit in places where conventional electricity supply might be compromised. For example, a power failure or a mountainous coastal area/hiking/glamping.
If you are wanting to demonstrate 100% that as an organisation you appreciate solar energy these chargers are a helpful lead into other initiatives regarding sustainability.
