Eco-Friendly Event Swag
Eco-Friendly Event Swag for Exhibitions & Conferences
Are you planning an exhibition or conference and are looking for branded eco-friendly event swag? In this blog post, we’re sharing the different product areas to consider for your events.
Identification
If you are at an exhibition, you want people to find you easily. A great way to get your brand’s name seen is to use printed roller banners. You can use these to advertise where your stand is or to share your marketing message, your services offered or the products you sell.
Other things to consider are lanyards for ID cards or name badges. If you are meeting attendees that you’ve dealt with virtually, having an easy way for them to identify you is the perfect way of quickly putting a name to a face. You can then make conversation with them and talk them through your display.
We have lanyards available in various sustainable materials. These include RPET, bamboo and PLA. We also have ID cards in rHIPS.b or recycled plastic. As for the name badges, we have reusable options available. All you need to do is print out new names to go into the windows. Name badges are available in metal, bamboo, and many other materials. All relevant information about materials can be found on our sustainability page.
Health & Safety
You can ensure your team are safe at your events with PPE. We have hand sanitisers available in recyclable aluminium bottles. These can even be personalised with individual names. Hand sanitisers also make great giveaways!
Sustainable, Eco-Friendly Event Swag Bags
The bag that we would recommend would be the Impact AWARE Recycled Cotton Shopper. It’s a 145g bag and can carry all of your important essentials. The tote bag features a 14cm gusset for extra storage. The bag is embedded with the AWARE tracer technology. This technology guarantees the use of genuine recycled fabric materials. In this case, it’s 70% cotton and 30% RPET. With Impact, water reduction claims are also guaranteed. If you choose this item, you save 860 litres of water. With the focus on water, 2% of proceeds of each Impact item sold will be donated to Water.org. Find out more about the Impact Collection on our blog.
What merchandise works well in an eco-friendly event swag bag?
Merchandise is versatile and the options you may consider will be dependant on your target audience and the industry you are in. However, there are several popular items across various sectors that work well as event swag.
Drinkware
One of our popular reusable coffee cup options is the Americano range. The Americano Renew is a sustainable option. It’s made of 75% PP and 25% Sugarcane (PLA), making it 100% recyclable once it reaches it’s end of life. It has a 350ml capacity, perfect for taking coffee on the go. It’s BPA free, dishwasher and microwave safe. Plus, it’s UK made, meaning it’s on a fast turnaround and uses no air miles when shipped to another UK address. To keep the product safe in transit, these are packaged in a home compostable bag.
Charging Cables
Confectionery
Stationery
We have many notebook options available. However, a current favourite and best-seller is the Cafeco A5 Notebook. It’s made of post-consumer waste and coffee cups. So, it’s made from 100% recycled materials. We can go the extra step further and remove the elastic band and ribbon marker if you wish. These being removed makes the notebook 100% recyclable once there are no pages left to write on. The Cafeco notebook range can be branded either by deboss, foil block or digital print.
