Embracing Sustainability: What Has Replaced Plastic in Promotional Products?

Written by Sam Pella | Jul 18, 2024 1:14:50 PM

Businesses increasingly recognise the importance of sustainability in every aspect of their operations, including promotional products.

At Pellacraft, we're committed to offering sustainable alternatives that promote your brand effectively and minimise environmental impact

 

Let's explore how materials like Ocean Plastic, Recycled materials, and FSC-certified options have transformed the landscape of promotional merchandise.

 

 

The Evolution Away from Plastic

 

Plastic, once a staple in promotional products, is being replaced by more sustainable alternatives due to its detrimental impact on our oceans and ecosystems. We've embraced this shift by introducing innovative materials that support environmental stewardship:

 
1. Ocean Plastic
We're proud to offer promotional products made from Ocean Plastic sourced from reclaimed ocean-bound plastic waste. By choosing these products, businesses can actively participate in cleaning our oceans while promoting their brand responsibly.
 

2. Recycled Materials
Many of our promotional items are crafted from recycled materials such as recycled PET (rPET), recycled paper, and recycled cotton. These materials help reduce waste, conserve natural resources, and lower carbon emissions compared to producing new materials.
 
3. FSC-Certified Products
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification ensures that products come from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social, and economic benefits. Our FSC-certified promotional products support sustainable forestry practices and biodiversity conservation.
 

Pellacraft's Commitment to Sustainability

 

Sustainability isn't just a trend—part of our core value guiding our product offerings and business practices. Here’s how we integrate sustainability into our promotional product range

 
1. Product Innovation
We continually innovate our product range to include sustainable alternatives that meet the highest environmental standards without compromising quality or design.

2. Awareness and Education
Our blogs and educational resources empower businesses to make informed decisions about sustainable promotional products. We recognise the importance of this commitment, which is why we've decided to join the British Promotional Merchandise Association (BPMA) StepForward Pledge - a guiding beacon for the promotional merchandise industry.
 
By committing to this pledge, we're making a conscious effort to reduce our environmental footprint, minimise waste, and promote eco-friendly practices throughout our entire supply chain. Our blogs on topics like Ocean Plastic, Recycled materials, AWARE technology and FSC certification educate and inspire our clients to choose responsibly.
 
3. Eco-Friendly Policies
We prioritise suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability, ensuring that our supply chain upholds rigorous environmental and ethical standards.
 
 
4. Green Points Program
Our Green Points initiative rewards businesses for choosing eco-friendly promotional products. It encourages continuous improvement towards sustainability goals and fosters a community dedicated to environmental stewardship. You can find out more about our Green Points below
