Contributes to a circular fashion economy
-
Drastically reduces water usage compared to growing new cotton
-
Lower Carbon Footprint: Less energy and fewer emissions than virgin cotton production
-
Diverts textile waste from landfills and incineration
-
Avoids harmful chemicals used in conventional cotton farming
-
Reduces dependency on resource-intensive agriculture
SUSTAINABLE
RPET Stubby Cooler
Our RPET (recycled polyethylene terephthalate) stubby cooler is manufactured from neoprene made from recycled plastic bottles. We are able to reproduce any design including photographs in full colour, as well as custom overlocking thread and taped seam colour.

Why RPET?
​
-
Encourages recycling and sustainable material use, contributing to a closed-loop system
-
Diverts PET plastic from landfills and oceans, reducing pollution
-
Requires less petroleum and energy than producing virgin PET
-
Produces significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions during production compared to virgin plastic
-
Production of rPET typically uses less water than virgin PET production
SUSTAINABLE
Recycled Stainless Steel Drink Bottle
Our recycled stainless steel, insulated, double walled drink bottle with stainless steel lid and carry handle, available in black or white. We are able to do either screen print, or a full colour wrap-around print.

Why Recycled Stainless Steel?
​
-
Stainless steel can be recycled over and over without losing its properties, making it one of the most sustainable materials
-
Producing stainless steel from recycled material uses up to 60–70% less energy compared to making it from raw materials
-
Diverts stainless steel scrap from landfills, promoting a more circular economy
-
Recycling stainless steel requires significantly less energy and emits fewer greenhouse gases than producing it from virgin materials
-
Conserves natural resources by reducing the need to mine raw materials like iron ore, nickel, and chromium​
SUSTAINABLE
Recycled Stainless Steel Pen
Premium twist-action ballpoint pen that is 100% carbon neutral and is made from recycled stainless steel and ABS. It features a soft-touch rubberised barrel and has 1500m of black Dokumental ink.

ECO CONSCIOUS CHOICE
Sugarcane Note Book
A stylish and functional medium-sized (approximately A5) wiro-bound notebook with a hard kraft cover. The notebook features 160 pages lined cream paper made using eco conscious sugarcane waste, with a sugarcane logo printed on the inside cover and the corner of each page. An elastic closure helps to keep notes secure.​​​

Why Sugarcane?
​
-
A byproduct of sugar production, so using it for paper minimizes waste sent to landfills or burned (which can cause air pollution)
-
Using sugarcane waste instead of wood pulp reduces deforestation and helps preserve biodiversity and ecosystems
-
The production of paper from sugarcane waste emits fewer greenhouse gases compared to wood pulp paper
-
Sugarcane paper is typically biodegradable and can break down naturally, reducing long-term environmental impact
-
Pulping sugarcane usually requires less water and energy than traditional wood-based paper manufacturing
ECO CONSCIOUS CHOICE
Bamboo Pen
Eco conscious and stylish retractable bamboo ballpoint pen with shiny chrome accents. It has a black large volume refill with 1800 metres of German manufactured Dokumental ink. This pen can be screenprinted or laser engraved and can be presented in an optional gift box.​​​

Why Bamboo?
​
-
Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on Earth—some species grow up to 3 feet (91 cm) per day
-
Carbon Sequestration: Absorbs more carbon dioxide and releases more oxygen than equivalent trees
-
Helps prevent erosion with its extensive root system
-
Naturally pest-resistant, reducing chemical use
-
Requires less water than many other crops and trees
-
Harvested sustainably without killing the plant
