What is zero waste? Simply put, it’s sending nothing to a landfill. In a zero-waste economy, we reduce what we need, reuse as much as we can, send little to be recycled, and compost the rest. A zero-waste approach redesigns our systems and resource use — from product design to disposal — to prevent wasteful and polluting practices. Zero waste aims to create a circular economy, one where we ‘ditch the disposables’ and practice more sustainable lifestyles. #refillnotlandfill Promotional products are one of the highest impact marketing mediums, and a useful tool to connect with your clients, employees and stakeholders, and showcase your commitment to sustainability. Leveraging your promotional merchandise to educate people about environmental & social issues and enable more sustainable lifestyles is a win-win.

THE BASICS OF E
The first steps to ethical buying is to first see if its necessary to buy to support your goals. You may want to avoid it, perhaps this is an opportunity gift expe- riences, or to upcycle, upgrade, or repurpose product you already have. But if the goal is to provide goods with a purpose, a need, to support, or communi- cate, than turn to useful and ethical products and avoid useless items that will end up in the landfill. Read on lean about the basics of ethical buying.
AVOID IT Try experiences instead such as photo booths, event tickets, food, movie screenings, repair stations, and more. The options are endless! UP-CYCLE OR REUSE Consider options that don’t require buying new such as decorating water bottles, clothing swaps, zines or book binding from reused paper, or screen printing items students already own.
38 | Zero Waste Merchandise
ETHICAL BUYING
USEFUL & ETHICAL If you must purchase new, consider products that people will actually use, that are durable, and come from trusted, ethical sources. We recommend checking out products like To-Go Ware, Klean Kanteen, Chico Bags, and more. USEFUL OR ETHICAL We understand you can’t always find affordable useful and ethical swag. At least try to buy one or the other! Useful items can include durable ballpoint pens, carabiners, or sewing kits. There may be other swag options which are less useful but come from ethical sources. We recommend using these options as a last resort. USELESS & QUESTIONABLE Please avoid buying useless swag from questionable retailers. This can include items such as fidget spinners, foam fingers, slap bracelets, and more.
