An eco choice that makes total business sense

The surge of interest in sustainability has not just come from traditional eco-activists but has stemmed from a mix of consumers, businesses and other interested parties.

One area that’s seeing a massive change is reusable drinkware. At Waitrose cafes, for example, one can no longer get a coffee in a takeaway cup. Instead, customers have to bring their own lidded container or buy one of those on offer in-store.

It’s no surprise that growing awareness about the environment has created new income streams – the reusable water bottle industry, for instance, is claimed to be worth around £5.5 billion.

Around a third of people in the UK are now using reusable drink containers – people on the daily commute, school children and students, plus walkers and others involved in sport.

Promotional branded bottles are increasingly popular and offer great durability. But in addition to the quality of an item, ensure the offering is distinctive and well designed too, so it really says something about your brand. The better the quality and the more sophisticated the design, the higher the perceived value it’ll have in the eyes of recipients.
