Remember, we established that environmentally friendly advertising products will be products that are
1) recyclable, reusable or biodegradable
2) renewable, sustainable, organic or somehow do no (or less) harm to the environment when manufactured or disposed of, or
3) made from recycled materials.
Using a baseball analogy, we will call products that meet one of the categories above a single. If a product meets 2 of the categories, it is a double and if it meets all 3 of the earth friendly categories it is a triple. If we find a triple that is also on sale, then we will rule that one a home run.
We have quite a few key tags that reach first base. I chose the TTR from Americanna line, show at the left, because it is made from 100% post consumer recycled tires. Getting them out of the landfills without burning them is a good thing. They also carry 2 other shapes in recycled tire key tags - round and barrel shaped. Let us know if you want a different shape as many of our key tag manufacturers (not from this line, but from others) offer some level of recycled content in their materials.
Swinging for a double are 3 tags from AmPro's Nature Ad line. These tags are made from corn plastic and so are both manufactured from a renewable resource and are biodegradable. Shown at the right is the rectangular version. They also offer an oval version and one shaped like an ear of corn.
The triple comes from CorporateKey. It is an environmentally friendly flashlight key tag which uses solar cells to power 3 LEDs, the case is made from recycled materials and it is manufactured completely lead free ('LED free' in the text on the web page should have been 'lead free'. It is, after all, an LED flashlight). Shown at the left, this key tag is recycled, uses renewable energy and uses no lead in the manufacturing. Definitely a triple.
No home runs this time, but I will keep looking for them. Maybe I will try to hit the cycle with bags next time. That should be interesting.
Until then.
