It’s more important than ever for businesses to exercise sustainable and eco-friendly practices - and the branding and merchandise sector is no different. Across the globe, businesses and consumers are recognising their environmental impact and focusing on improving their efforts, including within the production, use and disposal of merchandise and promotional materials.
But aside from the obvious reasons for preserving our planet - why is sustainability so important in the promotional merchandise industry?
Environmental Responsibility
We all have a responsibility to look after our environment and planet, and as the promotional and branded merchandise industry produces a significant amount of items worldwide, it’s important to embrace sustainable practices. Many branded and promotional products are traditionally made from plastics or non-renewable materials, or use printing materials that are harmful to the environment.
Switching to recycled, biodegradable, or renewable materials is a simple solution to reduce the negative environmental impact left by the industry. This includes choosing reusable tote bags for packaging or sustainable printer inks.
Meet the Demand of Your Consumers
Consumers are calling for businesses to practice sustainability now more than ever - and by abiding by these demands businesses will not only help protect the environment but increase their consumer demand.
In a world filled with eco-conscious consumers, offering sustainable products and services will show an increase in support and trust from buyers.
Enhance Brand Reputation
Sustainability isn’t a trend - but it can be a strategic advantage. With eco-friendly products and practices in place, businesses are viewed as forward-thinking and socially responsible, increasing their respect and trust industry-wide. More brands and organisations will be inclined to align with a branded and promotional merchandise company that showcases strong eco-friendly practices, as this partnership and association will also reflect upon them and their values.
Long-Term Cost Efficiency
While sustainable products may carry higher upfront costs in some cases, over time they prove to be more effective. Eco-friendly and durable products require less maintenance and replacements, minimising waste and reducing costs.
Bulk shipping and streamlined packaging are two great examples of sustainable practices that benefit businesses in the long term, reducing overall logistics and material costs.
