The Green Wave in Corporate KL
Walk into any office in The Exchange TRX or KL Sentral, and you will notice a shift. Plastic pens are disappearing. Bamboo, cork, and recycled paper are taking over. This isn't just a style choice; it's driven by ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) mandates.
Popular Sustainable Materials
- Bamboo: Fast-growing and biodegradable. Perfect for pen bodies and notebook covers.
- RPET (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate): Made from recycled plastic bottles. Used for lanyards, bags, and notebook covers.
- Wheat Straw: A byproduct of agriculture, mixed with plastic to reduce petroleum usage.
The "Greenwashing" Trap
Be careful. Some products claim to be "biodegradable" but are just plastic with an additive that breaks it into microplastics. We verify our supply chain to ensure:
- FSC Certification: Paper comes from responsibly managed forests.
- Genuine Recycled Content: We can trace the source of our RPET materials.
Why It Matters for Your Brand
Aligning your corporate gifts with your sustainability report is powerful. Giving a plastic trinket says "waste." Giving a bamboo notebook says "responsibility."
This trend is also influencing packaging. Learn more about Sustainable Packaging Solutions.
