Five tips for more sustainable merchandise

It’s no secret that the world is buzzing about the importance of sustainable practices, and we’re right there with you. At Tangibility, we’ve taken a step in the right direction by steering our Tangibility branded merchandise towards more sustainable options. What’s even better? We’re noticing that many of our external partners are on board and making the switch too.

So, let’s dive into our top five tips for making your merchandise more sustainable:

  1. Prioritise Recycled and Sustainable Materials
    Choose eco-friendly materials like bamboo, rice husk, recycled plastics, or organic cotton to reduce environmental impact and promote sustainability. By opting for these materials, you can utilise renewable resources, reduce waste, and contribute to a greener future.
  2. Embrace Timeless Design
    Make your merchandise more versatile by opting for timeless designs that can be used over and over again. This will extend the life span of your merchandise minimising the need for frequent replacements and reducing waste.
  3. Choose things they’ll keep
    One of the most sustainable practices is to reuse, so consider your audience and what they will cherish. Selecting products that are useful, practical, and long-lasting will not only increase brand exposure but also reduce the amount of merchandise that ends up in landfills.
  4. Quality matters
    Invest in quality – it’s like giving your brand a superhero cape. High quality, durable products make a lasting impression. Plus, when your merchandise stands up to wear and tear, it encourages folks to use it over and over.
  5. Encourage green choices
    Want to inspire your customers to make eco-friendly choices? Include cool items like reusable straws, bamboo cutlery sets, or even seed paper in your merchandise line-up. You’re not just selling products; you’re promoting a green lifestyle!

We have some ideas to help make your merchandise more sustainable and are happy to share ways we can team up to create eco-conscious merchandise that truly represents your brand.
