| How to lower your carbon footprint with merchandise |
|
If sustainability and reducing your company’s carbon footprint are high on the list of business objectives for this year, using promotional merchandise that is UK Made is just one way to hit those goals.
Buying UK Made products not only supports the local economy, it also makes your products stand out from the crowd. Plus, with the ever-increasing costs (and changing of rules) for imports and exports, it will also keep your finance team happy.
|
| |
| Why buying UK Made is important: |
| |
- The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased by over 20% since the 1970’s*
- Our UK government has pledged to reduce our carbon emissions by 80% on 1990 levels by 2050**
- People’s interest in sustainability and caring for the environment has grown considerably over the past few years with 43% of consumers actively reducing their carbon footprint and valuing this as one of their commitments to protecting the environment+
- 61% of consumers have limited their usage of single use plastics in order to be more sustainable+
- 45% of consumers now seek locally produced goods as well, meaning the appetite for British-made goods has increased dramatically in recent years+
- UK manufacturing is worth £192 billion to the UK economy and employs 2.7 million people++

So why not gift your employees a UK Made (and eco) Universal Tumbler? It is fully recyclable and unlike other plastics, it breaks down much faster if it ends up in landfill or the ocean.
The perfect reusable branded cup to promote your sustainable ethics to staff and customers.
