Compostable Drinkware

New times, smarter decisions, new terminology...your client requests biodegradable cups for their next event.  Technology is moving so quickly that we have new Eco-friendly logo products that are even better than biodegradable.  We can offer compostable logo cups now.

Biodegradable products are good.  They break down naturally through microorganisms like bacteria and fungi over time but when dumped in landfills they sometimes get buried under where the "good" bacteria survives and the oxygen is depleted. 

Compostable is the new and improved biodegradable.  It's greener.  In order for plastic to be considered as compostable, it must be able to break down into carbon dioxide, water and biomass at the same rate as paper.  It must look like compost and can not produce any toxic material and must support plant life.  Most compostable items are made from plant materials like corn, potato, cellulose, soy and sugar.

Ta DA ~ Green cups for hot beverages that you can customize

 

and for Eco-friendly cups for cold beverages

Once discarded these cups biodegrade in a matter of weeks.  They can't be stored in direct sunlight and they will begin to breakdown in temperatures above 120F.  The cups are guaranteed to maintain structure at temperature 104F and below. They are made from corn.

We can do up to four color process, production is roughly 25 business days, and the minimum is 45,000 pieces to start.  We can do smaller runs with the 16 ounce clear cold beverage cups.  Baby steps....

Did I mention they were made in the USA?  Yeah, feel good about that too.  Made in the USA.

Recyclable and Affordable Eco Mousepad

It's a cork mouse pad. It's about a 1/4" thick and measures 8.75" x 7.25".  It's really light weight and you can imprint up to 19 square inches with a full color imprint, it's kind of like a heat transfer process that is then pressed into the cork. Your mouse moves about easily. Check out the one the Discovery Channel did:

Each mouse pad also comes in a recycled gift box that explains the Eco-friendly goodness within. Cork is like the bamboo competitor in the environmental world, or I should really say ally since they both work as the do-gooders against the world of evil waste. Cork too is natural, recyclable, renewable and biodegradable.  The box has a full tree imprint that is really pretty.

Remember how it was so painful in the wallet to go green?  It's getting easier.  You can do 250 of these fully customized in the $3.50 range...good deal. 

Live from New York ~ IT'S FRIDAY AFTERNOON!

Have a great weekend, thanks so much for reading. 

Save money with eco-friendly promotions

You don't have to spend a lot of money to spread the word your company walks the green environmental walk.  Have you seen these new magnets that are made of 30% corrugated material?  Minimum is 500 pieces, most shapes are under $.50 each and they have a simple natural look that people like.

It doesn't have to scream ECO-FRIENDLY, this custom promotional idea could just relay the idea that your business is made up of forward thinkers who care.

Or that you Go Green

There are a bunch of different shapes from recycling trash bins to pizza boxes to even small lunch bags. If you look at them from the side, the cross section of each magnet shows the corrugated depth like a cardboard box.  Sometimes the simplest is the best, back to basics.

Cheers to a smooth week....Brand on.

Branding with Style

Remember I told you about Tanya at Informz? A brander with style.  Last year she chose a logo bean plant to welcome in the holidays.  This year the winner is a BPA free aluminum water bottle with their logo.  Doesn't it look great?  Look close at the card, created on seed paper.  Informz walks the walk, they run on 100% wind power too.

I read every day more and more layoffs, stores closing, negative news...we're all screwed. It's good to know there are companies that are growing and business is coming in strong.  Informz just added 4 more employees this month, 7 new employees in September...Good news.

Internet marketing works, make sure to keep your brand out there. Check out Informz website, lots of tips on how to e-market.  Brand on.

Lots of little wind turbines all in a row

 

They looked fantastic! Here is a photo of them set up on the reception desk. Thanks for rushing this through Chris - you rock!

Diane

This is a portion of an email we received today from Diane at the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Land Management (www.blm.gov) 

Phew! This one was a nail biter.  The order came in on Monday and all these little green promotional products had to be in Arizona with a custom one-color imprint by Friday morning of the same week.  They look so cute don't they?  They made a their own little wind farm on a table as people entered the press conference.   

Arizona is BLM's first large-scale wind energy project.  It's being done through Iberdrola Renewables.  The energy from this project will be fed into the electricity grid to start powering Arizona with clean, renewable, wind energy.  We're really proud to be able to participate, even in such a small way, on this great new energy development in the USA.  Thank you Diane, means a lot.

Need a new eco-friendly promotional idea?

We discovered this product out of necessity the other day.  Working with two monitors, (Heaven forbid we're not doing 10 things at once), our screens were getting dusty and accumulating fingerprints.  The search through the office for screen cleaners began.  We thought "Hey, these would be great giveaway items".  We all need them, can't have too many and useful?  Definitely great Brand representatives. 

Look what we found. This promotional item could go for an environmental trade show giveaway or it would be a great piece to include as an eco-friendly conference giveaway.  It's a keeper. The  reusable molded container is created from 100% recycled material.   You have your choice of hunter green, beige or black.  Each piece  contains  towelettes, antacids, pain relievers, bandages, lens cleaners and computer screen cleaners.  I'm calling it the  Eco Office Survival Kit.     

New Green Promotional Giveaway

When I first saw this I wasn't quite sure what it was.  Now that I figured it out, I think it's pretty cool.  It goes by a couple of different names: Custom USB Smart Button and Promotional Eco-Button.  The old potato pototoe thing, you say custom flash drives, Joe says custom thumb drives, I say custom USB sticks...many names but they all do the same thing.  Well we have a new entry into the USB world.  This new custom tech product, when plugged into a USB port and activated, will save some serious energy.  When you have to leave your desk to attend meetings, head out to lunch, or just spend some time concentrating on paperwork ~ one touch of this eco-friendly promo product puts your computer to sleep.  The energy saved is the same as if you turned your monitor and your computer completely off.  There is a very cool branding factor too.  When the button is pressed to resume work, your website pops up on the monitor. Nice right?  But wait there is even more and it is the best part!  Along with your website displaying, it also displays the calculated stats for the amount of carbons saved during your absence and the amount of money saved! Isn't that great?

They come in many different colors including flashing multi LED's.  I like the fact that I'm able to keep track of how much energy I use every day doing my normal activities.  I'm trying to improve a little bit every day.

Small steps taken by many people can lead up to some great green savings, and I don't just mean environmentally, saving money works nice too.

Logo Plants

Funny right?  I stopped in my tracks at the show for these guys.  I think they're a clever way to brand green.  Can you just picture your logo front center on the clear jars with these happy guys smiling? The manufacturer is working on a piece exclusive for Absolute Promotions too, where the little guy has a hand that will hold a sign that can be customized four color process with your message or logo.  So you will have a choice where to put your logo:  The jar or the sign or both.

You know how everything old is new again?  Batman and Rambo movies, cowl neck sweaters, ringer t-shirts...  Maybe because so many of us are hitting the age that when we see things from our childhood it strikes positive memories.  Here is a great way to associate your brand with people's "Retro state of mind". I remember when I was little, every Christmas my Aunt Eleanor would get me different shaped Chia Pets.  It was a fun gift and the fun lasted way beyond the holiday.  I loved the process of watering, anticipating and smiling when the growing began.

Along with the great branding opportunity and good feelings ~ the are ecologically friendly.  The material is coconut fiber, the seeds within are perennial rye grass and they are not treated with any chemicals or preservatives!  Yeah man Go Green
