These products help to focus on renewable sources for businesses that want to promote in a clean way. This helps to minimise the negative impact and protect the future of the planet, and target the eco-conscious consumer.

Branded Eco-Friendly Bags

Since the UK government introduced a charge for all single-use carrier bags in 2015, we have seen a huge movement towards using reusable and recyclable bags. Always a popular useful business gift to hand out at exhibitions and tradeshows or to form part of a welcome pack for new employees, members or clients, bags for life and reusable bags are more desirable than ever. By purchasing branded eco bags with your brand printed on them, you will be helping to save single-use plastic ending up in our oceans, as well as advertising your green-thinking ethos. Ideal for conference giveaways, holding a variety of products.

From our reusable cotton shopping bags, canvas bags and jute bags for life, right through to our biodegradable carrier bags we have you covered when it comes to eco-friendly branded bags. If you are looking for a stand out eco-friendly bag, our denim shopper could work wonders, or go one step further with our UK made Okrobrella bag which includes a mini umbrella!

Organic Promotional Clothing

With textiles and fashion being the second most polluting industry, by choosing organic clothing you will be helping to combat climate change. Organic textiles such as cotton, hemp, flax and wool are all grown by natural methods and avoid any hazardous synthetic pesticides or genetically modified seeds.
