Earth Day is an annual global day to encourage people to support the environment and to consider what they are doing to help the planet. It highlights the importance of protecting our planet and raises awareness of the climate issues we are all facing. Here at Gilt Edged, we have been working hard to bring you a range of sustainable promotional products and clothing, to help businesses become more environmentally-friendly in their marketing efforts. We have picked out some of our favourite products in the range to celebrate Earth Day!
Grow your business!
There are an increasing number of seed-based promotional products on the market, from seed stick packs to ‘grow your own’ tree or flower kits. These encourage people to grow something, whether indoors or outside in nature, and the products are low-waste. A great option for businesses as they’re different to traditional promotional products, making them memorable to the recipient. It also provides longer brand exposure, as every time someone waters their seedling – potentially daily for years – it’ll remind them of you!
We also love these new products made from FSC sustainably harvested paper, and come with pine tree seeds. Not only are the products made from sustainable materials but you give life back to the planet too! With a bookmark, notebook, pine tree kit and a decision dice available, they are truly innovative promotional products.
Biodegradable branding
Compostable and biodegradable products are so important to reducing waste and are a brilliant alternative to plastic. Biodegradable pens have been around for a few years now, and are becoming more popular as businesses look to make the switch. There are plenty of options from ones made of wheat straw to bamboo to bioplastics (plastic made from renewable bio-based sources such as cornstarch). Our bestseller is the senator Nature Plus ball pen.
Another popular promotional item is branded sweets, but they mostly come in plastic packaging of some sort. Manufacturers are starting to offer an eco-friendly alternative in the form of compostable tubs or film. So you can get your sugar fix while being kind to the planet!
Eco-friendly tech
Technology is more important than ever in the 21st century, and finding a way to make it green is paramount. Branded USB sticks and power banks are a popular choice for businesses, but what eco-friendly options are there? Some USBs are now being made from bamboo, cardboard and cork -all great earth-friendly materials. They can still be printed with your logo for a sleek, professional look while promoting your commitment to the environment.
Looking for a more eco-friendly power bank? The Solar Power Bank charges with sunlight via solar panel, so you can power your devices on-the-go with all-natural resources.
So those are our top promotional product picks for Earth Day. What changes are you going to make to protect the planet? Whether it’s as an individual or a business, remember every small change adds up to a big difference. Don’t forget to check out our full sustainable range online now.
