The fall/winter 2025 season presents a unique opportunity for companies looking to go beyond simple gifts. It's the ideal time to launch sustainable gifts that connect emotionally with employees, customers, and partners, reinforcing brand values through purposeful actions.
As we get back into the swing of things after summer, personalized eco-friendly merchandise is gaining momentum in offices, trade shows, conferences, and loyalty programs. From rPET school backpacks to recycled workwear, and including planners, document holders, and corporate umbrellas, everything is being transformed into an eco-branding tool that supports, communicates, and protects.
rPET: the star material of autumn with low footprint and high impact
In this scenario, rPET (post-consumer recycled plastic) is positioned as the star material for autumn/winter. Its qualities make it perfect for durable, lightweight, and waterproof products, essential for everyday life this season.
Advantages of rPET in corporate gifts:
-
Ideal for recycled winter workwear: lightweight, thermal and safe, suitable for both outdoor and customer service positions.
-
Perfect for umbrellas, backpacks, ice scrapers or travel accessories, thanks to its resistance, waterproofing and durability.
-
Its logistical lightness makes it a logistical ally for marketing actions at fairs, events and congresses, where transport and functionality matter.
-
It reduces CO₂ emissions by up to 70% compared to virgin plastic, and allows certified traceability with systems such as AWARE™ or GRS.
The result: sustainable promotional products that not only serve a practical function, but also reinforce your brand's ecological narrative with real and measurable arguments.

Why choose rPET over virgin plastic?
What today forms part of a backpack, a jacket, or a pair of custom headphones was once a forgotten bottle in a landfill or industrial waste. That's the key difference between virgin plastic and rPET.

From waste to resource: the circular history of rPET
rPET is generated from post-consumer waste: water bottles, advertising banners, and textile scraps. These materials are collected, sanitized, shredded, and transformed into yarns, fabrics, or rigid components. The result: a product with a lower carbon footprint, environmental certification, and suitability for responsible promotional campaigns.
Sectors that value it most:
-
Education and vocational training, which renew welcome kits every season.
-
Retail and corporate events, which seek functional and sustainable items with a positive impact.
-
Companies with outdoor staff that need technical, thermal and environmentally friendly clothing.
