Eco Friendly Promotional Items

Happy Earth Day

Earth Day is April 22, 2012 so let’s look at some earth friendly promotional items to celebrate!

Custom Pens Made From Recycled Water Bottles

If you’ve seen me in person recently, you know I’ve been personally testing these pens myself – and they are fantastic! Each pen reuses 2.5 water bottles. If you are interested in environmentally friendly pens, there are lots of other options out there, like these recycled plastic pens below:

Environmentally Conscious Tote Bags

If you’re a regular reader of our blog or newsletter, you already know that recycled plastic totes and shopping bags are used more frequently than any other promotional item (on average, 9 times a month). Want some with your logo for your next event?

Custom-Printed Recycled Notebooks

There is a wide variety of custom promotional notebooks available, made from everything from stone paper, to recycled paper, to elephant poo. Yes, I said elephant poo! The notebook below is so attractive, no one would ever guess what it was made from (it’s so cool, you should make sure you tell them):

Fresh and Eco Friendly

It’s Spring and Earth Day is just around the corner (April 22) – perfect timing to look at some fresh and fun ideas that we love (and the earth loves them, too):

Stone Paper

Stone paper is a durable tree-free product made from stone with no wood pulp, no tree cutting, no water or air pollution, no acid, no alkaline, and no bleach. Blue, black, red, or green stock will arrive in May 2012, so this product is as fresh as you can get!

Seed Paper

Seed paper, also known as plantable paper, is a biodegradable eco-paper that is made with post-consumer materials (no trees harmed for this paper!) and embedded with seeds. When the paper is planted in a pot of soil, the seeds grow and the paper composts away. All that is left behind is flowers, herbs or vegetables and no waste. It’s easy to plant and grow, and there are thousands of paper products with a seed paper component that can be customized: greeting cards, journals, business cards, confetti, and coasters. Our favorites: a thank you card that turns into daisies or an inspirational journal (once the journal is full, they can plant the cover and watch their ideas flower).
