Reducing water usage with branded eco merchandise

Recycled promotional merchandise

Be the change you want to see in the world.

That’s the message being given this World Water Day. The annual awareness day was started to help change mindsets and accelerate changes to help solve water and sanitation crises.

Whether it’s changing purchase behaviours, reducing chances of water pollution or restricting water usage at home, there are countless ways to lower the amount of water that’s wasted throughout the country, including the promotional merchandise you choose.

Water-reducing promotional merchandise

If you’re looking at cotton based merchandise products, recycled is the way to go.

According to WWF, it takes more than 20.000 litres of water to produce just one kilogram of cotton, which roughly equals one T-shirt and a pair of jeans.

Did you know that for every tonne of recycled cotton, it is estimated that 765,000 litres of water are saved compared to regular cotton production?

Although not to the same extent, organic cotton processing also requires far less water.

At Sycal, we offer a wide range of recycled cotton products all designed to lower your reliance on products where water is wasted in the manufacturing process. At Sycal you can find a selection of recycled cotton bags including duffel bags, backpacks and totes.

At Sycal, we offer a wide range of Impact Aware products, and a fantastic array of promotional merchandise that has cleaner waters at heart. Manufactured from recycled PET and cotton, the Impact Aware range consists of bags, clothing, umbrellas, and drinkware that donates 2% of their proceeds to Water.org.

Every product offers full traceability, allowing you and your customers to see the full journey your branded merchandise has made throughout the supply chain. Fantastic products with a fantastic story behind them.

If you were to look at a single Impact Awareness RPET drawstring bag, 2.4 PET 500ml bottles were reused and 1.41 litres of water were saved compared to creating a regular plastic drawstring bag.

The entire Impact collection contains items from hats to bags, t-shirts to drinkware and isn’t limited to just rPET but recycled cotton as well. Individual products can save anywhere from 0.5L of water up to 30L, making these recycled bags a perfect choice for supporting World Water Day.

Water-freindly Drinkware

Reusable drinkware has been a simple eco-friendly switch for many years, only in recent years has technology and research given us access to products made from recycled or sustainable materials.

At Sycal we offer drinkware made from recycled plastic, recycled waste, wheat straw, bamboo and more. Some of these products, like the H2O Eco screw cap bottle, are made in the UK to help further reduce your carbon footprint.

The H2O Eco bottle comes in four styles, all of which are made with Prevented Ocean Plastic. Prevented Ocean Plastic is recycled plastic that has been collected from coastlines before polluting our waters. Each bottle purchased saves plastic from entering our oceans and provides a reliable income to those collecting the waste.

Available in a range of colours, you can customise a full wrap design with your branding and showcase your logo on a sustainable, practical product.
