Eco products from Brand HK

The market for eco promotional products is growing all the time as businesses like to match actions with words. Giving a green gift is not only appreciated by the recipient it also reflects back on the Company doing the giving.

Brand HK (www.brandhk.com) has a steadily increasing range of eco promotional products all with green credentials. These products are environmentally friendly in different ways. Some are made of recycled materials while others replace less friendly alternatives.

Eco pens come in two forms. The first has the barrel made from recycled paper materials along with a wooden clip. Thus the barrel is not only made from discarded paper but it is also recyclable again. The second type of eco pen is made from a special plastic that decomposes quickly in the ground. Instead of the many hundreds of years that a normal plastic takes to degrade these pens will degrade in less than 5 years in landfill. They are made from a special plastic manufactured by Bio Green. Either eco pen can be printed in one or more colours.

Recycled mouse mats are also a popular promotional item. All the black “rubber” on the back is made from materials that would normally go to landfill and there is no reduction in quality or performance.

Eco bags can also come in two forms. The more common is the non-woven bag which is made from polypropylene so is not in environmentally friendly in its construction. However, if it replaces disposable polythene shopping bags then it certainly plays its part in improving things.
Cotton bags are made from a fully renewable plant resource and can be fully recycled after use. Even if they are not actually recycled after use they will break down quickly in landfill into natural components.

Finally there are eco usb’s with the casing made from renewable sources such as bamboo wood. These casings are aesthetically pleasing as well as biodegradable. The eco usb is a good example of modern meets traditional with the high tech chip encased in natural wood.

There are now a range of promotional products with green credentials.
