Thinking Outside The Bottle

Last week, many consumers woke up to the news that their daily drink might cost a little more in the near future. With an estimated one million birds and 100,000 sea mammals dying per year as a result of dumped plastic waste, UK MPs have called for a tax on plastic bottles to help prevent this ecological nightmare.

Expected to be between 8p and 22p, the tax isn’t expected to slow down the sales of bottled drinks, as consumers will be reimbursed for the extra costs when the item is recycled. Should the proposed tax go ahead, the UK will become the 39th country to introduce the new deposit scheme, which has proven to improve plastic bottle recycling rates by around 90%.

As the country adopts more eco-friendly policies, show the world that your organisation is forward-thinking and environmentally conscious with a wide range of promotional products designed to boost your brand image.

Metal Alternatives

In a recent article, Plastic Oceans Foundation gave tips on how to prevent plastic entering the ocean. One of their discussed ideas was for people to purchase metal water bottles to carry their drinks.

Designed to be handy and reusable, metal water carriers are a fantastic promotional tool to put your name to. With up to one-litre fluid capacity, our range of metal sports bottles provide an eco-friendly way to carry your drinks, whilst still remaining stylish.

Unlike the taxable disposable plastic bottles, metal carriers stop chemicals from leaching into water, meaning that your drink is fresh time after time, use after use. Available in a variety of shapes, sizes, colours, and styles; and with countless promotional branding opportunities, find what product suits your brand image most in our latest online catalogue.

For some customers, metal bottles may not prove to favourable over their plastic counterparts. To ensure that your customers are happy and your brand remains environmentally conscious, we offer a range of promotional bottles made out of 100% recycled plastics and are BPA free.

No longer are these products limited to consumers on the go, but will now reach a younger, environmentally-conscious demographic. In addition to this, on average customers are 60% more likely to remember a brand should it be on a practical product rather than a novelty one, making our metal and recyclable bottles an excellent promotional tool. Whether they’re used as gifts, giveaways, office equipment or resale, give your consumers a long-lasting and environmentally friendly memento of your business.
