2. In times of shrinking resources, increasing
costs and raising environmental pollution,
corporate social responsibility and
sustainability are emerging as key issues
for businesses large and small.
Marketers – from big brands down to
smaller players – are more and more
receptive to the idea of recyclable and
ethically sourced products, and are
reaching out to distributors for
environmentally-friendly options.
Prominate offers innovative ideas for
sustainable and ethical Promotional
Materials, that are less damaging to the
environment whilst boosting your overall
marketing strategy by demonstrating your
brand’s values.
Why sustainable
promotional materials?

3. The issue of plastic
Approximately 260 million tonnes of plastics are
produced worldwide annually. Ten per cent of
that end up in our fields, rivers and oceans.
Disposable plastics make 85% of all the waste.
Large volumes of plastic waste wash up on
beaches, where they can be eaten by sea birds
and other animals and kill them. Microplastics
are passed on to humans.
The European Parliament has voted for a
complete ban on a range of single-use plastics
across the union in a bid to stop pollution of the
oceans by 2050.
Prominate has made a part of our mission to
provide with expert advice on which products
you can offer your customers that show you’re
consciously taking positive steps towards
making the world a better place.

17. Branding
In addition to sourcing ethical textiles, we are also investigating alternative branding methods and
packaging substitutes.
Screen Printing
It is the most cost effective method of branding textiles. Along with new water based inks which maintain
the eco footprint for the garments, there is now new technology known as ‘screen reclamation’. This
innovative method strips ink from water to prevent water pollution.
Laser Engraving
A relatively new form of branding which offers a really distinctive look. The rate of pollution is reduced
significantly through this method. There is no ink involved in this method, therefore, there is less waste to
the environment.
Embossing
Branding through embossing is very versatile as it works across all types of garments and offers a
uniquely defined design. It is a durable method of branding and again, there is no ink so less pollution to
the environment.
Packaging
We can provide eco friendly and sustainable packaging not only for clothing, but for all promotional
materials.
