We all do our part in the modern world for our environment and we appreciate when others do their part as well. That’s why customers will appreciate environmentally friendly promotional products more than traditional promotional products. But, which products are environmentally friendly and are they high quality enough to be stellar promotional products. DiscountMugs.com has every type of promotional product you can imagine from t-shirts and pens to coffee mugs and wine glasses; and we’d like to showcase our environmentally friendly products and help our customers find the right green promotional product for them. Here’s a list of our top environmentally friendly products ranked based on the quality of the item and its environmental impact.
# 1 – Jute Tote Bags
Jute tote bags get the number one spot on the list for many reasons, but the main reason is that it has the least environmental impact of any product. Jute tote bags are also extremely popular because of their earthy designs that provide a unique aesthetic appeal. DiscountMugs.com has two main jute tote bag products our standard Jute Tote Bag and our designer’s choice Jute Panel Tote Bag. The standard Jute Tote Bag is big enough to carry large items like laptops and books but small enough to be easily stored under a chair or in a standard-sized compartment. The Jute Panel Tote Bag has all of the same quality features as the Just Tote Bag but with some flashy designs which include a panel with your choice of five different color designs. Both products are made of jute which is an organic material made out of interwoven plant fiber. This makes the bag extremely durable, water resistant and biodegradable.
#2 – Stainless Steel Travel Mugs
So, why is this non-biodegradable item considered a green promotional product? Well, since the most popular containers for coffee are Styrofoam cups, stainless steel travel mugs allow individuals to use potentially hundreds of less Styrofoam cups a year. Styrofoam and paper cups are extremely hazardous to environment, especially since they are used so frequently. And while it’s true that stainless steel travel mugs is not easily recyclable material, it durability allows the item to be used for decades without considerable wear.
#3 – Stainless Steel Water Bottles
Very few materials have as negative an impact on the environment as plastic water bottles. Since plastic is formed from fossil fuels and is non-biodegradable, it has a host of problems especially with estimate stating that we throw away 60-million tons of plastic water bottles per day and 22-billion per year in the United States alone. Stainless steel water bottles allow people to have a portable water source with a dramatically reduced environmental impact. These custom water bottles are also made of a stainless steel material that is so durable it can last a lifetime. These items are also popular for their stylish designs which include the option of receiving custom laser engraving.
#4 – Organic t-shirts
T-shirts are fun promotional products to get for your company or customers. Organic t-shirts add to the laid back and relaxed undertones of this promotional product. Organic t-shirts can be made of a couple different kinds of material but organic cotton is probably the best. Cotton is comfortable and has very little environmental impact.
