One of the biggest issues facing today’s world is plastic pollution. Pieces of plastic litter our streets and seas, taking hundreds of years to decompose. In the meantime it breaks down into microplastics, causing further issues on entering the food chain. Almost everything we use or consume contains plastic, from food and drink to cleaning products and clothes. Individuals and businesses alike should consider how to reduce plastic and how to use it differently.
It’s no secret that plastic items are a large part of the promotional product industry. How many times have you been given a plastic pen or drinks bottle branded with a company logo? These items are effective marketing tools and produced in high quantities, so it’s important to consider sustainable options for branded merchandise.
What is Prevented Ocean Plastic?
Prevented Ocean Plastic is plastic collected from areas where it is at risk of ending up in the ocean. It is collected within 50 kilometres of coastal areas at risk of plastic pollution. This is sorted and recycled into new, food-safe plastic products. Prevented Ocean Plastic work with many partners including Lidl and Waitrose; you might see their logo on some food packaging!
A proud addition to our range is the H2O Eco 650ml Flip Lid Sports Bottle. This bottle is made from recycled plastic and is recyclable at end of life. Not only that, but they come in compostable bags so the packaging also has little environmental impact. Choose from lid options including flip, dome, screw cap or spout, with black lids made from pre-consumer recycled plastic.
The bottle features a generous branding area so your logo can be printed front and centre. You can even include a QR code enabling end users to find out how the bottle came to be!
