From logo to delivery

  1. Tell us the programConference, onboarding kit, client gift, Earth Day campaign — the program narrows it faster than the product does.

  3. You check the claimFor certified items we supply the certificate reference. For the rest we pass on the supplier's claim as a claim.
  4. Production and deliveryStandard production runs most of a week; rush is available on many items. We confirm the in-hands date before you approve.
07 · About Recycled Swag

Eco-friendly promotional products that name their material

Most "eco-friendly" promotional products are ordinary promotional products with a leaf on the label. The claim is in the marketing copy, not in the material, and nobody checks. We built this catalog around a test instead: before a product is listed here, the supplier data has to name a material or a certification — recycled rPET, bamboo, cork, organic or recycled cotton, wheat straw, hemp, jute, seed paper, FSC paper, GRS-certified recycled content. Products that only said "eco-friendly" did not make it in.

That matters because the person receiving your merchandise is better at spotting greenwashing than the industry assumes. A tote that falls apart after six uses undermines the message it was printed with. A bamboo lid on a plastic tumbler reads as exactly what it is. The products here are chosen so the claim survives the first question anyone asks about it, and every product page prints the actual material claim rather than a green icon.

We are also honest about the limits, because the limits are the interesting part. A cotton tote has to be used 50 to 150 times before it beats the plastic bag it replaced. Wheat straw is not compostable. Bamboo fiber is glued and usually shipped from Asia. Carbon neutral means someone bought an offset, not that the emissions did not happen. And the most sustainable promotional product is the one you do not order: 400 items people keep beat 1,000 that end up in a bin, and that is the number that holds up in a sustainability report.

Browse all eco-friendly promotional products, or start from the material: recycled & rPET, bamboo, seed paper, cork, organic cotton. If the purchase has to survive a procurement or ESG review, start at sustainable promotional products, where the certified items come first. Send artwork and a quantity and we come back with a free mockup on the actual product.

Not sure the claim holds up?

Send us the product you are considering — here or from another supplier — and we will tell you what the material claim actually covers before you order.
