8 Customizable Eco-Friendly Products

Posted By Kate Degen

When you think of being environmentally savvy, you probably think about recycling or cutting back on water use. But the right custom gear can help you help the environment, too. Here at Custom Ink, we have plenty of eco-friendly products to choose from for your group or event.

If an apparel item of ours is eco-friendly, it means that it’s made with a percentage of recycled materials. Most often this comes in the form of recycled polyester made from recycled plastic, such as plastic water bottles. Items that aren’t clothing, such as notebooks, are considered to be eco-friendly when a part or parts of them are made from a percentage of recycled materials. So whether you’re gearing up for Earth Day or just want to do your part on a daily basis, check out some of our favorite eco-friendly products below.

  1. Royal Apparel Organic Eco 50/50 USA T-shirt
  2. Royal Apparel is known for their organic, eco-friendly, and USA made apparel. This Royal Apparel Organic Eco 50/50 USA tee is made of 50% organic cotton and 50% RPET–recycled PET plastic made from recycled plastic water bottles–how cool is that? We can see your clean-up crew design really shining in this tee.
