Eco-friendly Ideas

03.20.2013 Apparel, Branding, Embroidery, Logo, Promotional Products

A great cause to take part in is making a conscious effort to be more eco-friendly both at work and at home.  Almost every grocery store and large box store now offers some form of reusable tote bag for shopping and it has become almost trendy to carry such bags.  If you own a store front, a great alternative to higher end paper bags is a recycled synthetic bag for your customers purchased merchandise.  Depending on what you already spend on bags for your store, ordering simple recycled bags might not yield any difference in cost.  There are more elaborate options such as canvas totes, designed bags with pockets and zippers, and different size options.  Offering the higher end options for purchase can offset the cost to you and offer your customers something substantial for future use.  Tote bags aren’t the only options for eco-friendly merchandise.  Recycled fabric is another great eco-friendly product.  If you are looking for a polyester version, there are plenty to choose from and if you opt for 100% cotton there are those too.  BPA free water bottles are handy to have in office or for clients passing through.  The recycled water bottles come in plastic as well as stainless steel which both can be printed on.  A few other eco-friendly items that are easy to brand with a logo are stationary, hats, sweatshirts, writing utensils and note pads.
