Healthy Flames




La Ti Da, a mom n' pop store located in Alabama, sells some very cool and unique eco-friendly merchandise that I wish was more accessible around here in New York City. La Ti Da sells over 15 different types of sustainable fire pots, all hand-made with smooth artisan glazes. The fire pots include stainless steel fuel reservoirs - when removed, it allows the firepot to be used as a vase. They also use Bird Brain Firepot Fuel Gel or Firepot Fuel Gel with Citronella to minimize ashes and smoke. The fire pots can be used indoor as well, so they can help light up a dim room instead of having to use a eco-friendly flashlight!

A Sustainable Home Base

Recently, Tennessee hosted the Dirt Sweat and Gears 12 hour Endurance Mountain bike race. The Taiga Company, an environmental consulting business, decided this was an excellent event to participate in as well as promote its services. The key promotional tool which the company utilized at its tent was a sustainable banner, showcasing its imprinted business logo and website. The banner garnered a lot of attention, since it's a massive eco-friendly promotional product made from biodegradable materials. The company also stocked its home base with environmentally friendly apparel, which maintained the attention of participants once the banner reeled them into the tent.

And Now Come The Green Business Card Holders



A recent trend for companies has been to make eco-friendly business cards, so why not double this effort by giving away recycled business card holders to enhance your brand name? Clients will have this product with them during every work week, which will serve as a constant reminder that your business gives its customers practical promotional products that show you care about the environment. Distributing sustainable items that are made from water bottles and yogurt containers is impressive enough, but giving your clients a pair of environmentally friendly products instead of just one is a game-winning strategy which is sure to be successful!

Sustainable Business Cards

We've seen plenty of businesses begin using eco-friendly promotional products in the workplace, but what about regularly distributing recyclable items? This company gives clients its custom business cards on cardboard with its contact information stamped on top. Maybe this won't be able to fit into a standard wallet, but it's a great way to inform consumers and clients that you are environmentally conscious while making a memorable impression for your brand name.

These coconut chia pets are a clever way to get your brand name noticed while advocating a green environment. The characters' heads are made of coconut fiber and have perennial rye grass growing on their heads; a plant that doesn't need to be maintained with any preservatives or chemicals. The chia pets can showcase your brand logo by holding a custom sign or by letting your logo float within the jar. These eco-friendly promotional products seem like they should be successful becuase they are creative and would work well as custom corporate gifts that will make your clients smile.

Bio-plastic Cell Phones



Samsung will be unvieling its new "green phone" W510 later this month in Korea. The cell phone is made out of bio-plastic, a material extracted from corn that is less harmful to the environment when manufacturing cell phones. Samsung will also be coming out with the F268, which has an alarm function that notifies the user each time the cell phone is charged so there is no surplus of energy when powering phones from the electronically. The W510 sales target upon its entry into the market is expected to be in the tens of millions. Hopefully, Samsung will give away some eco-friendly promotional products or custom digital products in addition to the phone so it can spread the word quickly.
