How important is sustainability when it comes to the promotional products you order for your business?
In the last few years, we have certainly seen a surge of eco-friendly and sustainable promotional products become available, as well many suppliers changing their practices to eliminate waste through recyclable packaging.
From a business perspective, ordering a sustainable product reaffirms your business perspective and commitment to the environment, and how you’re doing your part to be socially responsible.
Innovatex can help source the right sustainable product for you. Here are 10 of our favourites right now:
SEED PAPER:
Seed paper business cards / post cards make a great impression. Not only are they eco-friendly, your custom information is presented in a way that is both unique and memorable. Simply plant the seed paper to grow wildflowers.
An extension of the seed paper, we love this eco-friendly solution -- seed paper and a plantable SproutTM pencil! The whole thing is plantable so the recipients can plant the branded seed paper packaging and then, after they have used the plantable pencil, they can stick the end of the pencil in soil and watch it grow, too. No waste is left behind, just fresh basil to cook with and enjoy.

USEFUL PRODUCTS:
We always value a useful promo product. The Sami Cooler Collection features recycled laminated nonwoven material with a fashionably subtle fleck detail. A lunch tote version is also available.
Say goodbye to single use plastics with The Grind Eco Cup. It’s made from 50% coffee grounds, 15% cornstarch, and 35% melamine material and features a light brown colour with a textured coffee ground finish and a RECYCLE RE-USE all over print. Included is a PU sleeve composed of 58% recycled material.
If you’re still a classic notebook / pen fan, you may appreciate the simplicity of a recycled notebook option to present to visitors, showcase at trade shows and for everyday use.
Pairing tech and eco-friendly material is music to the ears! These TWS earbuds are made from 35% recycled wheat husk and support wireless technology V5.1, allowing up to 4 hours of playback time. If you are on the go, even better! The charging case allows you to recharge the TWS earbuds up to three times, so never a tuneless moment.

SUSTAINABLE FASHION:
Try this on for size – promo wear that is breathable and sustainable.
The Threadfast Ladies’ Ultimate V-Neck T-shirt is made of 60% cotton and 40% recycled polyester (derived from recycled content including plastic bottles!) Recycled poly helps reduce water usage, energy consumption and CO2 emissions when producing this garment.
Redwood Classics makes “Apparel for a Thriving Planet”. We have always been a fan of Redwood Classics, and the fact that they’re Made in Canada, too.
Two of our faves include The Rideau Jacket -- the classic varsity style that’s made for everyone, the Rideau Jacket is Crafted in Canada and made from 80% Cotton and 20% Polyester.
