SUSTAINABILITY IN PROMO

The Promotional Product industry can be particularly wasteful. More often than not, items are purchased to be given away - to staff, clients or prospects. Gifts are great but given the receiver is not choosing to spend their hard earned cash on these items, they may not appreciate them as much as the giver would like.

BE MINDFUL and  T H I N K  ABOUT YOUR IMPACT!

WHO

T H I N K is not a site for purists - if it was, it would suggest you plant some trees instead of giving your staff reusable cups (however, as a carboNZero certified business, WE will plant some trees on your behalf as part of our offset process).

We are not manufacturers, printers or stockists - we are curators who source products from local manufacturers, local importers and directly from factories offshore. Talk to us about your requirements and we will try to source and brand products to suit your brief.

T H I N K is part of the All About Promo family and our services are carboNZero certified - read more about us here.


WHAT

We have put thought into which products will have less of a negative impact on the environment, will encourage good habits like reusable shopping bags and will represent your brand in a positive way.


HOW

To be more sustainable when promoting your brand, consider:

 - Usefulness and relevance to the receiver
 - Does the logo you want on the product improve it or look ugly? Logos can add value to a blank item if done cleverly
 - Engraving is more sustainable than print to reduce the impact of printing inks
 - Has the product come from an ethical supplier?
 - End of life - will it biodegrade quickly or can it be recycled
 
Note that plastic packaging is used at source by our many suppliers for bringing products into NZ, freighting them to printers and then freighting to end users. We have no or little control over the plastic packaging although are talking to suppliers about where this can be reduced. 
ASK US if you want no plastic and we'll see what can be done!


We're on a journey to improve branded offerings and hope you'll join us!
