What makes a branded product 'sustainable'?
We have identified various attributes that make a product ‘sustainable’, and the merchandise shown on our website have at least one of these qualities. Click the ‘find out more’ button to read about the attributes that help to make a product ‘sustainable’. We hope that this helps you to make an informed decision when buying merchandise for your brand.
Recycled Materials
Products that reduce waste and the use of virgin materials by reusing materials and stopping them from reaching the landfill or ocean.
Made in the UK
From a carbon emissions perspective, buying UK made products often significantly reduces the mileage a product must travel to reach its destination, and in turn, its emissions. British made merchandise also supports the UK economy and creates jobs.
Reusability
Gifting merchandise that is reusable rather than single-use means they stop products from going to waste and they also have longevity.
Social Contribution
Supports social causes such as supporting global reforestation projects or educating girls in India.
Traceability
Through the use of block-chain technology or relevant certifications, we can verify the use of materials used and all claims made.
Zero Plastic
Reducing the use of plastic in our products by using alternative, durable materials.
Known Carbon Emissions
After a lifetime cycle analysis (LCA) was conducted on this range of products, we can provide you with the carbon footprint of the products.
Natural Materials
Using renewable resources helps to avoid the use of virgin materials. An example of this is PLA which is a plastic-like material that is actually made with plant based content, such as Sugar Cane.
The Offset Collection
A ring-fenced collection exclusive to Firebrand Promotions. The Offset Collection takes the CO2 count from the LCA of the products and offsets them via Gold Standard projects to make them Carbon Neutral.
Organic Materials
Organic materials are grown without the use of artificial pesticides or fertilisers. For a product to be called Organic, it must have been certified by a third party and we work closely with our supply chain to ensure they have certification. Pesticides emit three main greenhouse gases when they are made: Carbon Dioxide, Methane and Nitrous Oxide.
Biodegradable or Compostable
Items that contain elements that can break down naturally and quicker than more commonly used materials without causing harm to the environment.
Circular Economy
This is where a product is designed to last longer or easier to repair but when it reaches its end of life, it can be recycled or repurposed and made into a new product. This helps to avoid the prospect of the material reaching landfill or ocean so in turn, it helps the environment too.
Vegan
Products that don’t use any materials of animal origin. Did you know, as cattle digest their food, they produce and emit methane, a potent greenhouse gas?
Premium Brands
Popular retail brands that can be co-branded. Besides many of their brands being on their own sustainability journey, the products are also known for longevity. This means, your brand will last on a product for a long time, which is great for return on investment.
Recyclable
Recycling is the process of converting waste materials, that would usually be thrown away, into new materials and objects.-
