10 Best Eco-Friendly Promotional Products For a Healthy Lifestyle

While eco-friendly promotional products are great for environmentally-focused businesses and non-profit organizations, they are also a great way for any business to show their priority in sustainability, as polls show strong support for environmentally friendly business practices.

Finding the right eco-friendly products isn’t always easy, but with nearly a third of customers preferring sustainable brands, eco-friendly products are a force to be reckoned with. If you want to get the most from your promotional items, you might want to consider going green with your marketing. Going green might sound time-consuming and expensive, but it’s actually easier than you might think.

What Does Eco-Friendly Actually Mean?

Eco-friendly promotional products are those that have been designed to be the least damaging to the environment. There are different categories of eco-friendly items: recycled or compostable plastics are two common categories. Another is products made with locally-sourced component materials, as local production is known to reduce transportation costs. Reducing the number of parts and the amount of packaging are two easy ways to “green” almost any product.

An increasing number of green or eco-friendly products are being offered. But tossing about the terms “eco-friendly” and “sustainable” has become so common that there’s even a term for branding products and businesses with those terms but not actually following through on them: greenwashing. It is absolutely worth spending a bit of extra time and effort to ensure that you are using the right, genuinely eco-friendly promotional products so that your brand stays honest about where it stands. To help, we’ve put together this guide to get your company started on your green promotional strategy.
