ECO awareness is growing: is your company ready to take advantage of this emerging trend?
Monday, August 16th, 2010

Research conducted by Canada’s Department of Agriculture and Agri-Food, estimates that the United States green consumer market has an estimated 35 million consumers. This $228.9 billion industry shows no sign of slowing its growth and offers an excellent opportunity for expansion to companies that are currently implementing a green marketing campaign or who are considering entering the market.

As more and more industries embrace the burgeoning eco-friendly trend towards sustainable business practices, packaging, and energy conservation, so too does consumer willingness to adopt environmentally friendly green habits. One way for businesses to position themselves within this growing segment is through the adoption of green or eco-friendly promotional products into their advertising and marketing campaigns

California based Ecozuri, manufactures a wide range of stylish eco-friendly bags that are economical while still offering a high-quality, unique marketing solution for companies looking to promote their business with green promotional products. Ecozuri offers a guaranteed-green product that is manufactured from your choice of either 100% recycled plastics, organically farmed fabrics, or material manufactured using sustainable farming techniques.  

Built around a custom-made factory-direct program, Ecozuri enables clients to interact directly with its worldwide manufacturing partners, removing all the usual hurdles associated with dealing with similar companies and helping its clients to not only confidently present a 100% green product, but also achieving savings that are typically in the range of 10% to 25% over other similar products.

Ecozuri products are available in a wide range of recycled and organic materials allowing you to offer a flexible, tailored product that fits comfortably with your brand’s image and have proved extremely popular with environmentally aware shoppers. Our wide range of reusable bags are easily brandable, highly visible and, while similar products offered by competitors use only 50% recycled material, Ecozuri’s unique fabrics are made from 100% environmentally friendly material.

 RPET:  Manufactured from recycled virgin plastic materials that have been collected and sorted at recycling centers, Recycled PET or RPET retains all the flexibility and advantages of virgin polyester materials with none of the associated negative environmental impact. It can be made into fabric of differing weight and thickness to suit your needs. Ecozuri can also provide you with recycled content verification issued by the materials provider for all of our custom made RPET products. 

Organic Cotton: Grown using methods that have a low impact on the environment, Organic Cotton production systems replenish and maintain soil fertility, reduce the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers and help to build biologically diverse agriculture. Organic cotton is verified through a third-party program that certifies that it was produced using only methods and materials allowed in organic production and without the use of genetically engineered seed.

Canvas: Usually made from cotton, modern canvas differs from other heavy cotton fabrics in being a plain weave rather than twill. Available in multiple weights, canvas is available in two basic types: plain and duck, with the threads of duck canvas being more tightly woven than plain canvas.

Jute: A natural fiber with golden, silky threads, Jute is the cheapest vegetable fiber extracted from the skin of the plant that gives this material its name. With high tensile strength and low extensibility that ensure a more breathable fabric, Jute fiber is 100% biodegradable and recyclable.

Hemp: Soft and durable, Hemp is used for a wide variety of manufacturing purposes. Although the fibers can be used to create 100% hemp products, it will usually be blended with other organic fibers such as flax, cotton or silk.

Bamboo: Made from the pulp of bamboo grass and 100% natural, bamboo fabric has grown in popularity because of its many unique properties. More sustainable than most other textiles, bamboo fabric is strong and light, provides excellent wicking properties, and has some antibacterial properties.
