Eco Friendly Promotional Mugs Show You Care

By Alexander Calvin

Companies today face a dilemma when purchasing promotional items. Because of the current heightened awareness of things eco-friendly, your company would be well served to take heed. Buying biodegradable promotional mugs would provide you with a double benefit. In addition to getting your logo and message to the consumer, you would also benefit by letting them know you care about the environment

These days we are seeing more and more recycled plastic used in the production of promotional items like mugs. Though plastic is inexpensive and is a very versatile product, it takes thousands of years to degrade. So wise producers have come up with an extended portfolio of promotional products which utilize recycled plastic.

Because the production of plastic requires use of fossil fuels, more and more producers are converting to recycled plastics. As pollution causes global warming, melting the Arctic ice caps, it is good to see that companies are stepping up to do their part to minimize these dire situations.

Design companies have begun to develop a wide array of very stylish and beautiful eco-friendly promotional mugs to the marketplace, which does indeed decrease plastic production. Non-governmental organizations are doing their part by spreading the word across the globe about the increased use of recycled plastic. One of the more efficient processes during the recycling process is to separate the plastics by color before production, allowing the desired color to be achieved in the final product without additional dye.

Companies should use eco-friendly products whenever they can. It only makes sense. Whether it is in their own office, increasing awareness among their staff, or at their next trade show, where the mugs will be seen by thousands, the smart business person can't go wrong. - 15634
