We look at the pillars of responsible merchandise, so there isn’t one thing that simply makes a product eco friendly. The things we take into consideration are: • Material of the product - what the product is made from. • Recycled Content - what percentage of the product is recycled • The Longevity of the product - can this item be used time and time again • The Manufacturing process - what happens before the product reaches you. • The supply chain - the environmental impact from raw material to customer. • The certification - Proving genuine sustainability claims • The End of Life - What happens when the customer no longer wants the product • The Purpose - Does the recipient actually want or need the product Taking each of these points into considering when picking products can be really helpful to work out what is important to you and your brand. AMT loves working on eco-friendly campaigns as it is important to us that the product tells the correct story and we offer items that we genuinely believe have as little impact to the environment as possible. Sustainability isn’t about choosing the ‘better’ product, its more about choosing the right product. Call us today to find out more information! 01483459310

Almost all items we offer have a sustainable alternative, lots of products are now made from recycled materials and a lot more companies are looking into eco-friendly branded merchandise. Common sustainable materials include • Organic Cotton - great for items like branded clothing and promotional tote bags, • Recycled Stainless Steel - Great for products like reusable printed water bottles. • Recycled PET - Great for dye branded lanyards and umbrellas. Some of our favourite sustainable items are remakes of the originals - for example the flower highlighter, this has been popular promotional product over the years but has now been remade using wheatstraw and ABS blend which means you don’t need to demote this promotional products just give it an upgrade in a new sustainable material. Our sales team have taken the time to learn all about the ways your branded giveaway can now be sustainable - call them today to find out more!

Some of the most popular items that we have noticed over the last few years have been items such as: • Reusable recycled stainless steel water bottle - Water bottles are a great option when it comes to something being wanted, reusable and made from a recycled material. The life span of a water bottle will be used 100+ times. • Recycled Plastic Charging Cables - Charging Cables are an everyday essential now in modern life, our phones are constantly being used and needing to be charged, whether you are out and about with a powerbank or at your desk. AMT offers charging cables that have multi-function charging so if you need to charge your phone, your headphone or something a little more obscure we should have you covered! • Organic Cotton Tshirts - Tshirts can be used as a uniform or for a promotion. An organic t-shirt tells the receiver that you have thought about the journey of the product and generally have a longer lifespan than a standard cotton t-shirt. And don’t think because it’s organic it can’t be branded; screen printing and full colour direct to garment prints work just as well on these items. • Tote Bag / Cotton Shoppers - Cotton shoppers have a large branding area and are a walking advertisement, most shoppers now are made from recycled cotton, organic canvas, jute or even RPET. The life span of a shopper will be used 50+ times.

Here AMT, as part of our sustainability campaign, we like to offer an eco alternative to every product, traditional promotional products such as pens, notebooks and desk items all can have an eco-friendly alternative. The ever popular contour pen can now be offered in a recycled ABS material - this can still be branded with a full colour print and with advances in printing machines we can now also offer a full wrap around print on these pens giving a much bigger branding area than the traditional screen print. And the classic A5 mole notebook can now also be made from a recycled material which is available in a variety of colours - if you are looking for something to make this popular notebook stand out from the crowd why not speak to our sales team about embossing or foil blocking! Coming in at under £5 per unit this will be sure to make an impression landing in your clients hands.

On our website we like to make it very clear when a product is sustainable - look out for the eco tabs on each of the products to know if the product is eco friendly. As I'm sure you are aware there are lots of elements that can make a product eco-friendly, whether this be that the item is reusable, recycled or can be recycled at end of life. Here at AMT we will be able to suggest a product that fits your brand in colour, fits your brand in style and also can fit your brand's ethos. We take a lot of time as a sales team to learn about the products we offer and we love to hear about their eco story because we understand how important it can be to your branding. Feel free to call our sales team today to find out what product could work for you!
