Brand Spotlight: Parkland Bags

Corporate sustainability is no longer an option. To remain competitive in most markets, you have to find new and unique ways to embrace this new social consciousness. People are looking to do business with brands that support their own values, and have the potential to make a difference. 

One way to showcase your company’s commitment to sustainability is to invest in corporate gifts, promotional products, and swag items that support a greater cause. These items can have a halo effect on your brand. Recent data shows that 46 percent of consumers have a more favorable opinion of an advertiser if the branded swag item they receive is environmentally friendly. 

That’s why our featured brand of the month is a company leading the way in the sustainability movement. Parkland creates eco-friendly branded backpacks made from recycled plastic bottles. But their mission goes even further. Here’s their story:

Parkland: Making Sustainable Branded Bags

Parkland was established in 2015 with the goal of creating bags and accessories for everyday life. By making the exterior of all of their products from 100% recycled water bottles, they hope to inspire others to make sustainable choices. But they also aim to create sustainable bags that combine purpose with style, quality, and function. So when you invest in a Parkland bag, you know you’ll receive a high-quality and purpose-driven product. 

How are Parkland Bags Made? 

Parkland has a pretty innovative process when it comes to turning one person’s trash into a stylish accessory. Recycled water bottles are gathered, cleaned, and sorted. They are then grinded, melted, and transformed into yarn. That yarn is woven into polyester, which is dyed into fun colors and designs and used for the exterior of all Parkland products. 

An extra fun fact? Parkland uses about 12 recycled bottles for each of their products. Multiply 12 by the number of bags you plan on investing in, and you’ll discover how much waste you’ll be reusing.

Ecofriendly corporate gift ideasParkland takes their sustainability efforts a step further by ensuring all their factories follow international standards regarding labor, wages, and safety practices. They work very closely with each factory and conduct regular reviews and audits to ensure compliance. 

The company also practices sustainable efforts within their own business model. By using recycled cardboard boxes for shipping, and product packaging made from recyclable material, their mission is rooted in their overall brand identity. It’s a company with a genuine purpose that’s worth aligning with.
