Few promotional products make a lasting impression. RPET umbrellas are pretty different. They combine every Australian’s recycling efforts into actual products like branded umbrellas. The canopy is made from recycled plastic bottles. These umbrellas make a statement, and we have them delivered to you, complete with a descriptive tag so your recipients know exactly what they are. RPET stands for recycled polyethene terephthalate, it is the result of what you get when turning discarded certain types of water plastic bottles into a tool for visibility and change.
What Exactly Is an RPET Umbrella?
RPET umbrellas are made using fabric woven from recycled PET — the same type of plastic used in soft drink and water bottles. Instead of ending up in landfills or floating in oceans, these bottles are processed, shredded, and re-spun into durable fibres.
Fabric is then stretched across frames to create stylish, functional umbrellas. The result? A promotional item that’s lightweight, sturdy, and environmentally conscious without compromising design or quality.
Why Businesses Are Turning to Recycled Umbrellas
Branded umbrellas have always been a top-tier merchandise choice thanks to their large print area and usefulness across all seasons. However, recycled models offer something more: purpose.
For businesses looking to align their promotions with sustainability goals or CSR initiatives, RPET umbrellas provide a natural fit. You get the same functional impact, with added environmental credibility.
Real-World Branding in Action: The FORD Example
In a recent project, the iconic car company FORD branded a collection of foldable RPET umbrellas with its logo. The canopy was made from RPET material, while the ribs were made from Fibre Glass.
Used for events and internal gifting, the umbrellas drew positive attention from stakeholders and customers alike. They weren’t just useful — they sparked conversation.
The Branding Advantage
With a large canopy area, RPET umbrellas offer excellent visibility for logos and messages. Whether you choose full-colour digital printing or classic screen print, your design gets noticed. These umbrellas act as portable billboards — only now, they carry an environmental message.
Need help refining your logo for umbrella printing? A trusted supplier like Cubic Promote can guide you through artwork setup and suggest branding techniques that maximise your impact.
Eco Branding That’s Built to Last
Choosing RPET isn’t a compromise. The products have a high quality standard, and personally, I cannot tell the difference between RPET and regular nylon or polyester. If I cannot tell, I doubt anyone can. The umbrellas are built for daily use, offering strength and weather resistance equal to standard models. They also pair well with other eco-promo products, like reusable coffee cups or recycled notebooks.
Why It Matters for Your Brand
More companies are judged by their actions, not just what they say. By choosing products made from recycled materials, you’re demonstrating care, innovation, and alignment with customer values.
In 2025, branded umbrellas made from recycled bottles will not be a trend—they will be a statement that your clients, partners, and staff will notice every time it rains.
