U.S. Manufacturer brings eco-friendliness…
U.S. Manufacturer brings eco-friendliness to the direct from manufacturer business model.
“Business is recognizing the role it can play in combating climate change. Thank God, is all I can say, for there is a desperately urgent need for business to play that role. Your lobbying influence can be substantial, but together, united and in large enough numbers it could prove decisive in turning the tide”
–Prince Charles
Big business and eco-consciousness often seem like polar opposites. “Organic manufacturer” can conjure up images of hippies weaving textiles over hand operated looms. The hippies are great, but eco friendly manufacturing has modernized quickly. As the above quote from Prince Charles suggests, corporations are increasingly realizing the impact they have on, and the power they have over, the environment. Eco-friendly manufacturers, such as Factory Direct Promos, are doing their part for the Earth while providing great environmentally friendly products such as imprinted pens, wholesale custom branded bags, and eye catching corporate promotional gifts. These items, which appear on the surface to be ordinarily custom promotional products, are in fact paving the way for a new look at how the environment and big business can interact. For the purpose of this article, let’s examine some of Factory Directs’ eco friendly products, and see what we learn. If you would like to follow along, they can be found at the URL: http://www.factorydirectpromos.com.
The first thing made apparent is that product options don’t suffer. A look at their reusable shopping bags, for instance, shows a range of options. From typical custom printed bags to green shopping bags with shoulder straps or even wholesale wine-totes, they offer a full product line-up. Their custom promotional bags offer a range of options to display your logo or message. Creativity is definitely not lacking in Factory Direct Promos’ products.
Next, you see that an eco-friendly take on promotional business items can actually expand your product catalog. Factory Direct Promos offers a wide range of promotional products, from seed bookmarks that bloom when you plant them to their unique Turf’n'Tin item (wheatgrass that grows out of a branded tin.) Eco friendliness not only helps the Earth, but from a marketing standpoint brings a breath of fresh air to product lineups.
Finally, and most importantly, is the benefit to all citizens of this planet. Their custom recyclable bags, once the user gets two years of life out of them, decompose harmlessly. Likewise, imprinted pens made of corn (rather than plastic) don’t occupy space for long in our already overflowing landfills when they run out of ink. Further, seed paper products actually benefit the Earth, leaving behind a nice blooming flower.
At last count, over 136 billion (9 zeros) plastic bags have been consumed this year. This is a truly frightening number, especially considering businesses can easily switch to reusable shopping bags. The benefits are apparent. Reusable bags are a better product, far more durable, eco friendly, and give business a great opportunity to shape their image or message. I encourage all stakeholders to turn to Factory Direct Promos for their next eco-friendly custom manufactured items. We can, and must, all work together to make sure we leave our children with a strong Earth, and shopping with Factory Direct Promos is but one of many simple ways to do this.

Opportunities abound
U.S. and China agree on environmental and climate change agenda: Opportunities abound
According to a statement from the White House, President Obama and President Hu Jintao of China agreed to open a dialogue to discuss, among other things, climate change and the environment. Obama took the chance to showcase the United State’s most recent efforts in the areas of energy efficiency and green production. Of course, the eco-friendly crowd is watching these discussions closely to determine where we can first expect progress.
China and U.S. cooperation on environmental issues has already been seen in the private sector for some years now. Companies such as Factory Direct Promos, a full-service direct-from-manufacturer production house, have already made the jump into environmentally-conscious factories on the Chinese mainland. Factory Directs’ 18,000 sq. ft. production facility is constantly looking for new ways to lessen its environmental footprint, and is having a great deal of success. In particular, Factory Direct strives to use eco-friendly raw materials (in particular post-consumer recycled materials) wherever possible, and enjoys creating eco-friendly products such as their wholesale tote-bags. These custom printed bags are recyclable and present a much better option over out-dated disposable plastic bags. This empowers marketing managers to have products that not only effectively spread their message, but help the environment in style.
Factory Direct employs a flexible business model ultimately designed to benefit its customers. In practice, this means that clients looking for the fastest turnaround time on their imprinted reusable bags can employ one of Factory Direct Promos’ stateside resources. On the other end, buyers in need of the best price on their wholesale shopping bags can rely on Factory Directs’ overseas facility to manufacture their promotional business items.
Designers at Factory Direct Promos are full of great ideas, and their direct-from-manufacturer business model means buyers are able to pay less for their imprinted items. The creativity is apparent, from Factory Directs’ green shopping bags, which have an endless amount of options, to its other custom promotional products, such as calculators in the shape of your logo to eye-catching point-of-sale displays that are sure to capture consumer attention.
Factory Direct Promos global model benefits buyers and users alike. Effective product branding means maximum ROI, and their eco friendly take on manufacturing ensures that a minimal footprint is being left on the Earth. Business owners, marketing managers, and decision makers are all strongly encouraged to turn to Factory Direct Promo’s for their next order of custom promotional products. Even in this new and challenging economy, Factory Direct Promos can help increase your brand awareness in a cost-effective and planet-friendly way. As a new era of cooperation between China and the U.S. on environmental issues begins companies such as Factory Direct are already fostering eco-cooperation between the two nations.
