The new, sustainable, way to buy promotional merchandise.
Pros
UK Made
Cons
Production in the UK means less transport impact than importing. Think about “food miles”... but for merch!
British manufacturing is also subject to more stringent regulation.
Manufacturing in the UK uses cleaner energy by contrast 85% of China’s energy comes from non-renewable resources
A tick in the 'eco' box needs to consider more than just the material that a product is made from – this is really important.
Flying anything 5000 miles from China is not great for the environment.
Avoiding one return-transatlantic flight would save approximately 7 times more CO2 than your domestic recycling for 1 year.
Just because something is made in the UK doesn’t automatically make it better for the environment than an
alternative.
