The environment is big business. Nobody wants to be seen as environmentally irresponsible, so companies put everything from internal practices to promotions through a fine-toothed comb. But when it comes to business promotional items, choosing eco-friendly products is nowhere near the burden it used to be. Located in Central Ontario, Promos Canada specializes in selling a wide variety of eco-friendly promotional products. Over the years the company has greatly expanded its range of environmentally friendly promotional products. Here are three developments they cite as being critical in the development of eco-friendly options for almost every major business promotion.

Recycled Material is Inexpensive and Plentiful: Thanks to the widespread adoption of municipal recycling using recycled plastic, glass and other materials isn’t significantly more difficult than manufacturing with anything else. Economies of scale have dropped the price on recycled materials to be competitive with their non-recycled counterparts. Furthermore there’s a much wider range of recycled materials in easy reach for any manufacturer, from plastic to numerous metals. That means it’s possible to make virtually any promotional item from recycled material, including pens, water bottles, tote bags and even clothing. As recycling technology improves prices are likely to fall even more, and a wider range of materials can be used by manufacturers. If you’re purchasing imprinted pens, tote bags or other promotional items you’ll enjoy a wider range of inexpensive choice for environmentally friendly bulk imprinted promotional items.

New Eco Friendly Materials Fit Most Manufacturing Niches: Plastic and metal have always been major barriers in creating eco-friendly promotional products. They’re not biodegradable, so when your promotional items are disposable it’s hard to find an eco friendly solution. Fortunately, there are new materials that solve this problem. Corn plastic – polylactic acid – is one of these revolutionary materials. It can do almost everything conventional plastic does, and a few things you wish plastic would  do. It biodegrades quickly and is non-toxic, so that even burning it presents no danger to anyone. It’s created from a renewable resource (corn, of course) that won’t run dry and won’t increase dependence on oil. Corn plastic is just one of a family of emerging bioplastics that have less environmental impact in both the manufacturing and disposable aspects of their life cycle. This makes it an excellent choice for disposable business promotional products such as pens and plastic cups.  In addition to bioplastic, new ways of manufacturing can make wood and paper fill the same role – including appearance – as plastic and metal. For example, paper and other forms of wood fiber can serve as the casings for environmentally friendly imprinted pens. As companies learn to manufacture with these materials more efficiently, prices will continue to drop.

Old Standbys Are in Demand as Eco Friendly Options: Many traditional promotional items are now considered to be “eco-friendly,” and some have become necessities. As cities discourage bottled water and the issues around disposable plastic bottles get more press, people are turning to permanent water bottles – ideal places to put your brand. Families are switching from plastic grocery bags to reusable ones that are basically tote bags. Nowadays, people are seeking out inexpensive ways to be environmentally friendly and a grateful when your promotion gives them the opportunity to do it.

It is hard to imagine this however most of us often use very toxic chemicals to clean our homes. I bet if you were to look under your sink there would be a couple of hazardous cleaning products that you use in your day-to-day cleaning routine. Now let?s take a moment to think about this; we are polluting our homes with toxins-cleaning our children?s toys, the floors that our children and pets play on, the sinks our children use to wash in, the bathtubs we bath them in, all toxic.  Not to mention the pollution that these toxins send into our environment.  If we were to look at it that way, maybe we could put a stop to the use of those toxic chemicals.

There are a lot of eco-friendly cleaning products out there in the market. Even Canada has been promoting eco-friendly cleaning products that can improve energy efficiency, can also reduce hazardous by-products, and use recycled materials. Simple chemical free cleaning solutions can be found in your cupboards. You can use baking soda and vinegar, lemons, and even a little elbow of grease.

Because baking soda is a rough cleanser, it can dissolve dirt, mildew, grease, and wax. There are a lot of uses for baking soda that we don?t even know about. For example: you can turn it into a paste and it can remove dirt and grime.  Mix 4 tablespoons of baking soda with 1-quart water and this can be used as a multi purpose cleaner; it can even remove odor from clothes, carpets, and refrigerators.

Vinegar is also a great disinfect and deodorizer. It can also be used as a multi- purpose cleaner and even as a fabric softener. Just mix equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle and you can clean anything and deodorize everything you wish.

Since lemons are acidic, they can actually work as a bleaching agent and has antibacterial properties to clean brass, copper, and even white clothes with stains. They are also a good deodorizer for sinks and clothes.

Steam is another great way to clean without chemicals.  There are many great steamers on the market that are simple to use.  You just add water, plug-in the steamer, let it heat-up and push the button.  The steam will do all the work to clean and disinfect.  Steam also kills germs such as salmonella and other bacteria.  It?s safe and cost effective.  The only investment is the actual steamer which can run you anywhere from $30-$150.

Choosing the right tools in cleaning your house is easy if you give importance to the environment you live in-both inside and outside of your home. If you still find that using these traditional methods don?t pass your standards, there are still a lot eco-friendly cleaning products out there that were made without chemicals.  Just make sure you read the labels to ensure that the eco-friendly products you buy are in fact chemical free.  Some companies can be sneaky!  However, in the end natural is safer and will even let you save more money than the usual toxic products.

2010 is the year when the World Cup rolls around again. Whether you are interested in football or not, you cannot fail to take notice of a news story that has been doing the rounds recently regarding the shirts the footballers will be wearing this year.

It is not the design of the shirts that is relevant here – it is how they have been made. When you threw away your plastic drinks bottles in the past, you may never have thought they could end up on the back of a world class football player but that is what may have happened for people living in Japan and Taiwan, because millions of bottles from those countries have now been recycled into polyester that is ready to be made into football shirts.

Small wonder the papers have been reporting on this in a big way. We all want to be as environmentally friendly as possible and the idea of wearing recycled items is certainly an innovative one. It could go far beyond the football pitch as well, depending on how manufacturers react to it from here on in.

We could start to see other sports following the lead of football and making eco-friendly recycled clothing for their top sportsmen and women to wear as well. The football shirts are not just a gimmick for the World Cup either; they are available for anyone to buy if they wish. This shows how easy it is to get recycled clothing in front of a much bigger audience.

So how many other items of clothing could we expect to see being made from recycled materials like this?

Fleeces made from recycled polyester are also available and surprisingly they have been for many years. The first company that made such an item from recycled polyester did so back in 1993. So you see it is worth checking the label of any clothing item you are thinking of buying, to see whether it has already lived another life.

T-shirts are perhaps one of the most versatile items to be made from this material. Everyone has at least one T-shirt in their wardrobe and as most of us have many more than this it is good to know we can replace them with eco-friendly ones whenever we need to.

The more we can do to recycle such items, the better it will be for our environment. The high visibility of the football shirts this summer could be exactly what is needed to push this kind of clothing to the next level. From mens T-shirts to football shirts and fleeces, it is quite something to think about all the items that can have more than one life and use.
