Green Promotional Products

 

Green marketing allows you to promote your company using sustainable and environmentally-safe products. Rice, bamboo, and corn are just some of the popular choices for manufacturing green merchandise. They are considered safe as they are compostable, recyclable, and have less carbon footprint. Such materials are also more inexpensive than other materials. But in this blog, we will take a look at wheat straw as the main material for manufacturing promotional merchandise.

 

What is Wheat Straw?

Wheat stalk is an agricultural leftover after wheat is harvested. It is often burned or made into fertilizer. However, researchers have found a way to reclaim this agricultural waste. Durable and 100% biodegradable, they can be manufactured into many useful products. It has a wide application value in areas of manufacturing and textile industry.

The left over wheat straw are chopped, hammer-milled, screened, and pre-wetted before they undergo fiber-refining process. Then they are made into bags, kitchenware, footwear, and barware.
