Single-use plastic drinking straws are going the way of the dinosaur, as Deputy Lord Mayor and Deputy Chair of the Environmental Committee Jess Miller says “Every piece of plastic that was ever created, still exists. When it comes to straws, Australians use around 3.6 billion of these little turtle-choking-seal-killers each year,” and I for one have but this to say; good riddance.
- Reduce waste, save the planet.
- Choose sustainable products for branding.
- Small steps lead to change.
Sydney Sucks, And It Really Shouldn't
Miller has teamed up with Paper Moose to create a new advertising campaign #SydneyDoesntSuck. This campaign is aimed at Sydney’s pubs and clubs to get them on board to stop buying single-use plastic straws. If you are wondering what will you need a straw but they are all gone, have a look at our promotional metal straws so that you can put your name and logo right on the straw, and no one else will use it.
Single-use products are convenient while they are in use, but the problem with this is that they are only in use for a fraction of the time they are on the planet. The majority of the lifespan of plastic straws are spent in a landfill or the ocean, as it is exceedingly difficult to separate these things at recycling plants.
Custom Eco-Friendly Products in NSW
Taking small steps to reduce your carbon footprint is easy, but people seem to be resistant to change. When NSW recently banned single-use plastic bags in Coles and Woolworths stores, there was an outcry from members of the public who were resistant to the change- even though single-use plastic bags have been banned in Queensland, Western, ACT, South Australia and Tasmania. Being able to use this momentum for being more environmentally friendly, now is the best time to order reusable promotional bags.
Being able to take a step back and to see what is and what is not important in your everyday routine is a great way to not only de-clutter your life but to de-clutter the planet. So please, follow in the Deputy Lord Mayor’s footsteps and prove to everyone, Sydney Doesn’t Suck.
Adopt Eco-Friendly Business Promotions
Promotional products are a great way for businesses to promote their brand and increase brand awareness. However, it is important to ensure that these products are eco-friendly and sustainable. Here are some tips for businesses looking to promote their brand in an eco-friendly way:
- Choose products made from sustainable materials, such as bamboo, recycled plastic, or organic cotton.
- Opt for reusable products, such as personalised jute bags, metal straws, water bottles, or coffee cups.
- Consider products that are biodegradable or compostable, such as seed paper or plant-based pens.
- Partner with suppliers who have a strong commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
By choosing eco-friendly promotional products, businesses can not only promote their brand but also contribute to a more sustainable future.
