Increased environmental awareness prompts growth of sustainable promotional gifts
2022 - Mar - 10 Ken
Promo gifts don’t need to be throwaway items; the industry has responded to social and environmental concerns by offering a good range of responsibly produced, ethically sourced recycled and/or recyclable or biodegradable/compostable promotional products with an emphasis on reducing waste, re-purposing and reusing products otherwise destined for landfill. In order to minimize the depletion of raw materials that are not quickly renewable, alternative materials are sought such as bamboo or stone paper. There is increasing pressure for businesses to be demonstrating their corporate social responsibility (CSR) by aspiring to be carbon neutral or at least offsetting where possible, incorporating eco-friendly branded merchandise is one way of promoting your organization as committed to being socially and environmentally responsible.
