Our range of recycled merchandise has been steadily expanding in recent times, with our most popular items of 2023 so far including our Recycled Notepad & Pen Sets, Recycled Calico Ball pens and Recycled 5oz Cotton Tote Bags.
Recycled Promotional Items: What Materials Are Involved?

Our recycled merchandise items are either entirely or partially made from recycled materials and we'll always clearly state this information on our product listing pages.

The most commonly used materials used across our range include:

• Recycled cotton: used in items such as our Recycled 5oz Cotton Tote Bags
• Recycled plastic: used in giveaways like our Recycled ID Card Holders
• Recycled paper: used in products like these Recycled Paper Seed Pockets
• Recycled polyester: used in merchandise like our Recycled Polyester Knitted Beanies
• Recycled aluminum: used in products like our Eco Aluminum Bottled Water

And that's just the start - we also have products made from recycled PET, recycled tyres and even recycled CD cases!

Recycled merchandise: 4 things you need to know

While we're on the subject of all things recycled, we thought we'd address a few common concerns that we've heard...

Myth #1: recycled promotional items can't be customised in the same way as 'regular' products. Our range of recycled items can be branded using all the usual methods. Available options vary from item to item, with the most popular including printing, engraving and embroidery.

Myth #2: recycled merchandise won't last as long. False! Many recycled materials are produced to a high-quality standard and, as such, products are usually just as long-lasting and durable as their non-recycled equivalents.

Myth #3: merchandise can't be recycled. Actually, many of our items can be recycled post-use (including non-recycled products!). We'll always clearly state information regarding how a product can be recycled when it's fulfilled its purpose and this can make a great talking point with your staff and customers. If you specifically want to order products that can be recycled post-use, take a look at our Recyclable Promotional Products.

Myth #4: recycled promotional items cost more. This isn't always the case. We're constantly working to ensure that we can offer our customers the best possible prices and also pride ourselves on our completely transparent everything-included pricing. This means you can compare prices between a recycled item and its non-recycled equivalent with ease, allowing you to decide which option best fits your budget. If you need advice on the best products to match your marketing budget, just let us know.

Without further ado, browse our full range of recycled promotional items and explore some of our favourites below.
