Eco Friendly Promotional Mugs Show You Care

By Alexander Calvin

As green awareness grows by leaps and bounds, many companies face a moral dilemma when purchasing non-biodegradable promotional mugs. Whether your company is on the cutting edge of eco-friendliness or not, you would have an added benefit of showing your awareness to customers and that you're doing something about the problem. By purchasing green mugs, you would receive an added benefit.

Recycled plastic has become very common these days to produce promotional products, especially mugs. Plastic is a very versatile and cost efficient material for producing promotional mugs in large quantities. But because of the known fact that it takes thousands of years to degrade, plastic products are being discouraged nowadays. Hence organisations which deal with producing promotional products have come up with a range of recycled plastic promotional items.

Because the production of plastic requires use of fossil fuels, more and more producers are converting to recycled plastics. As pollution causes global warming, melting the Arctic ice caps, it is good to see that companies are stepping up to do their part to minimize these dire situations.

Design companies have begun to develop a wide array of very stylish and beautiful eco-friendly promotional mugs to the marketplace, which does indeed decrease plastic production. Non-governmental organizations are doing their part by spreading the word across the globe about the increased use of recycled plastic. One of the more efficient processes during the recycling process is to separate the plastics by color before production, allowing the desired color to be achieved in the final product without additional dye.

Companies should use eco-friendly products whenever they can. It only makes sense. Whether it is in their own office, increasing awareness among their staff, or at their next trade show, where the mugs will be seen by thousands, the smart business person can't go wrong. - 16651
