Reusable Water Bottles as Eco-Friendly Corporate Gifts

 

Recycled, recyclable, biodegradable, plastic-free, organic, these are key criteria for products to qualify as eco-friendly. More and more businesses are making an effort to minimise their carbon footprint, cut waste, and protect the planet. Don’t get left behind!

Prove to your employees, customers, and business partners that you’re ‘thinking green’ with eco-friendly corporate gifts that meet the above criteria.

Thanks to the growing environmental trend, the market is saturated with eco-friendly products that would make great gifts, from notepads and pens to reusable coffee mugs. But one of the most useful eco-friendly products you can give is a thermally insulated reusable water bottle made from food-grade stainless steel. Unlike plastic, high-quality stainless steel bottles can be used for years, even decades if cared for correctly. It’s 100% recyclable and non-toxic, meaning that if it’s not recycled, it won’t pollute the earth or oceans. Stylish reusable water bottles also encourage the recipients of your gift to ditch single-use plastic bottles in their daily lives.

Next time you think about rewarding your employees, customers, and business partners, consider giving reusable water bottles as eco-friendly corporate gifts. Here are four reasons why.

It’s a Quality Gift

A reusable water bottle isn’t a novelty office accessory; it’s a high-quality gift that everyone can use every day and anywhere. Give a thermally insulated water bottle to your new employees or loyal customers, and it will be useful in all four seasons too. Add your company branding to this environmentally friendly corporate gift, and you’ll also benefit from free advertising.

It’s Eco-Friendly

Sustainability has always been important, but it’s trending now more than ever. Employees want to work for environmentally conscious companies, and customers want to buy sustainable products from ethical suppliers. Making sustainability a key focus with your company, and giving corporate gifts that reflect your green values, is a guaranteed way to boost your brand image.

10 Eco-Friendly Products to Use on Your Lunch Break

10 Eco-Friendly Products to Use on Your Lunch Break

While many people are concerned about the amount of plastic in the environment, few people adopt habits to reduce plastic pollution levels. Much of our waste is generated by the food and drinks we consume away from home.  Switching single-use plastics with eco-friendly products for the home can hugely reduce your carbon footprint but it's also important to reduce plastic waste when you’re out, at work, or on vacation. Packaging from food and drink items bought on the go, such as bottled drinks, take away coffee and ready-made lunches, are some of the most common plastic items found in the ocean.  Choosing eco-friendly food products and packaging instead of disposable containers will reduce plastic pollution, improve your health, and keep the oceans clean.  Here are 10 eco-friendly products that you can use on your lunch break every day.  10 Eco-friendly Products to Use on Your Lunch Break Reusable Water Bottle Millions of plastic water bottles are produced every year and most are not recycled. Instead, bottles are buried in landfills where they slowly release toxic chemicals. Otherwise, they end up littered in natural areas, clogging sewers and waterways or polluting the oceans. Plastic bottles also increase your chances of consuming microplastics. Take an eco-friendly stainless-steel water bottle every time you go out and you'll never need to buy another single-use bottle. A 500 ml FLASKE Bottle costs just under €30 and keeps your drinks hot or cold for hours.  Also Read: 8 reasons to take a reusable water bottle everywhere Reusable Shopping Tote & Grocery Bag Plastic bag bans aren't new. The law that requires consumers to pay for plastic shopping bags has already helped reduce the use of plastic bags in Europe. However, some of us still get caught out on a lunchtime shop, particularly when shopping for loose fruits and vegetables. To avoid plastic bags entirely, make sure you always have a cotton tote, and a couple of reusable mesh bags tucked into your day bag or jacket pocket.   Stainless Steel Straw Many businesses are already phasing out plastic straws, and some governments have put in place plans that will prevent food and drinks businesses from providing non-biodegradable straws for customers. If your local café is still supplying single-use straws, or you just prefer to drink from a straw, come prepared with a reusable stainless-steel straw that you can wash after each use.  Insulated Lunch Box The simplest way to avoid plastic takeaway containers and packets on your lunch break is to make your lunch at home and take it to work in an insulated lunch box. The FLASKE Food Pot is insulated for hot and cold foods and suitable for any type of food; from rice and curry to fruit salad or hearty winter soups. Even if you're not much of a cook, an insulated lunch box can help you reduce waste. Try asking the staff at your local takeaway to put your meal in your insulated lunch box instead of a disposable container.  Also Read: 5 foods to put in a thermal lunch box Wax Food wraps Clingfilm is another everyday item that's super convenient but not biodegradable. Instead of wrapping your lunch in plastic, buy a set of reusable beeswax food wraps. In case you're unfamiliar with beeswax food wraps; they're essentially cotton squares of various sizes coated with beeswax. You can also get Vegan versions made with plant-based wax and tree resin. Wax wraps are flexible, naturally adhesive, and washable (in cold water). They're also great for covering bowls and plates so you can use this eco-friendly product at home too. Reusable Travel Cutlery Another of the most common items that pollute the oceans is disposable plastic cutlery. Because these items are small and sharp, they're particularly dangerous to wildlife. Put a reusable bamboo cutlery set in your bag, and you won't ever need to use disposable knives, forks or spoons again. Who likes to eat from flimsy plastic cutlery anyway? A bamboo cutlery set barely takes up any space, but consider a stainless-steel spork if you want something smaller.  Travel Coffee Mug Disposable coffee cups are another environmental nightmare. Even paper coffee mugs have plastic linings and the lids are rarely biodegradable. Mother nature with thank you for using a travel coffee mug on your lunch break, and so will your wallet. With an insulated coffee mug, you have the option to prepare your own lunchtime beverage or buy a takeaway drink from your favourite coffee haunt. FLASKE's 380 ml Travel Coffee Mug has double-wall insulation that will keep your coffee hot for up to 12 hours and your iced-tea cold for up to 24 hours.  Reusable or Biodegradable Coffee Filters Thanks to cheap coffee machines, it's possible to have a coffee in your office that's almost as good as the americano from your local barista. Unfortunately for the environment, most compact coffee machines use non-biodegradable filters or plastic-wrapped single-serving pods. To enjoy fresh filter coffee and specialty coffees on your lunch break without producing extra waste, bring your own reusable coffee filter or refillable coffee pods to work. And, if you can't avoid using disposable filters, make sure they’re biodegradable or compostable. To reduce waste, you can make a whole pot of coffee to share around the office instead of a single serving. Alternatively, store the leftover coffee in an insulated coffee mug. Loose Leaf Tea Infuser Many brands of instant tea bags contain plastic and are, therefore, non-biodegradable. Additionally, single-serving tea bags are often individually packaged in plastic. If you prefer tea to coffee, a loose-leaf tea infuser is an eco-friendly product that you can keep at work or in your day bag.  Biodegradable Trash Bags Although you're unlikely to fill a whole trash bag with the waste from your lunch, you can investigate what trash bags are used in your office's kitchen or canteen. Regular trash bags take hundreds of years to break down, whereas biodegradable or compostable trash bags will decompose within months. If your office uses regular trash bags, why not suggest an eco-friendly alternative to your boss?

Consuming goods from plastic packaging may also be harming your health. Our suggestions for eco-friendly products to use on your lunch break, when you're out and about, or at home will help you ditch plastic for good. Why not encourage your friends, family and colleagues to do the same? For more inspiration, read our 30 top tips for going zero-waste with FLASKE.

Fill Your Travel Coffee Mug: 8 Vegan Drinks to Keep You Warm This Winter

Fill Your Travel Coffee Mug: 8 Vegan Drinks to Keep You Warm This Winter

When the temperature drops and the days get shorter, there’s nothing better than a mug of your favourite winter beverage. Whether you’re a coffee lover or you prefer a creamy hot chocolate, there’s plenty of warming vegan drinks that you can put in an insulated coffee mug for your morning commute, winter outings, or Christmas festivities. Although many of the most popular winter drinks contain dairy, most can be made vegan friendly simply by switching dairy milk for plant-based milk. In this post, I’ve put together a collection of festive vegan drinks for winter that you can make at home and drink on the go from a reusable coffee mug.   8 Vegan Drinks to Keep You Warm This Winter   Warming Vegan Drinks for The Morning Commute Vegan Bulletproof Coffee For anyone who tends to skip breakfast in the morning rush, a vegan bulletproof coffee is a high-calorie drink that will add a bolt of energy to your day. This caffeinated beverage usually contains butter or ghee but the vegan version uses coconut oil instead. To make: add a cup of hot coffee to a blender with 1-3 tablespoons of coconut oil, depending how creamy you like your coffee. Mix in the blender, or mix by hand with a mini whisk, pour into your travel coffee mug and add sugar if desired. Ginger & Turmeric Spiced Tea Kick start your metabolism with a caffeine-free and healthy tea. This spicy vegan beverage is a popular weight-loss drink, but it’s also warming, flavourful, and easy to make. To make: combine half a litre of water with a tablespoon of ginger (grated or thinly sliced), a teaspoon of ground turmeric, and a stick of cinnamon. Bring to the boil in a saucepan. Simmer for about 5 minutes or longer for a stronger taste. Add a squeeze of lemon and sugar, optional, and pour through a tea strainer into a travel coffee mug. Vegan London Fog Latte If you like the smooth flavour of Earl Grey tea, then you’ll love the London Fog Latte. It’s a creamy drink made with Earl Grey and hot almond milk, or a plant-based milk of your choice, and sweetened with vanilla. Perfect for people who prefer drinks with a lower caffeine level. To make: put an earl grey tea bag in your reusable coffee mug and fill to about halfway with boiling water. Let the tea brew for 5 minutes or until strong. While the tea brews, heat unsweetened almond milk until it starts to froth. Use a saucepan for best results. Add half a teaspoon of vanilla extract, mix well, and pour over the hot tea. For an extra creamy taste, mix in a tablespoon of coconut oil whilst heating the milk. Warming Vegan Drinks for Chilly Winter Walks Golden Turmeric Latte Full of flavour and packed with essential vitamins, a turmeric-infused latte is a healthy caffeine-free drink to get you through the winter. Like all the best warming vegan drinks, this one is quick and easy to make at home. To make: Combine one and a quarter cups of unsweetened almond milk, or enough to fill your travel coffee mug, with half a teaspoon of ground ginger, half a teaspoon of ground turmeric, half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and one or two teaspoons of maple syrup (or your preferred sweetener). Mix and heat in a saucepan or heat the almond milk in a microwave before mixing in the other ingredients. Peppermint Hot Chocolate Of course, a classic mint hot chocolate deserves a place on this list. Make it with a plant-based milk and dairy-free chocolate, and it’s a 100% vegan-friendly beverage. To make: in a saucepan, heat two cups of your favourite plant-based milk. When warm, add a bar of vegan dark chocolate (in small pieces) or dairy-free cacao powder and a tablespoon of sugar. Whisk over the heat until the chocolate has melted and mixed into the milk. Add a quarter teaspoon of peppermint extract, then transfer to an insulated coffee mug. Spiced Apple Juice For anyone who prefers a warming vegan drink without plant-based milk, this hot spiced juice is a lighter alternative. It’s simple to make with just a few ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen cupboard. You can even make a batch of it, store it in the fridge and reheat throughout the week. To make: in a saucepan combine two cups of apple juice, half a cup of water, a stick of cinnamon, a few slices of orange and lemon, a tablespoon of brown sugar, and a pinch of nutmeg (adjust quantities according to taste). Bring to the boil and simmer for five minutes. Strain into a reusable coffee mug and store any leftovers in the fridge.

It’s also something you can share with friends at the New Years firework displays. Vegan Baileys is lighter than its dairy alternative and has a delicious nutty flavour. To make: in a blender combine a can of full-fat coconut milk with half a cup of Irish whiskey, a quarter cup of strong coffee, four tablespoons of maple syrup (or another sweetener), and a teaspoon of vanilla extract. Blend for two minutes and serve over ice. Vegan Eggnog Lighter and healthier than the traditional version but just as tasty, why not try a festive vegan eggnog recipe this winter. Put it in an insulated coffee mug, and you can take it with you for a wander through the Christmas lights at night or to an outside Christmas gathering. To make: in a blender combine 3 cups of plant-based milk with a can of coconut milk, half a cup of cashews (soaked overnight), 3 to 4 tablespoons of maple syrup (or another sweetener), a teaspoon of ground cinnamon, a teaspoon of vanilla extract, and a pinch of nutmeg. Blend until smooth and enjoy hot or cold from a travel coffee mug. Optionally, add a splash of rum or brandy for an extra warming winter beverage.
