Promotional merchandise made from RPET

Sustainable alternatives to help lower your plastic consumption

With so much single-use plastic ending up in our oceans and along our coastlines, switching to sustainable alternative promotional merchandise is the perfect way to promote your brand, your values, and your support in an environmentally friendly way.

PET is the world’s most common type of plastic, as well as the most recycled plastic across the world. It is incredibly versatile in the products it can produce when recycled, from durable drinkware to fabrics and apparel. The process of recycling PET is more energy-efficient than creating glass and aluminium, as PET stores 40% of its energy in its polymers.

rPET is 75% more environmentally friendly than PET and by 2030 at least 30% of plastic used in bottle production in the EU will need to be rPET.

Your next promotional merchandise order could actually help the planet.
