What Is the AWARE™ Range and Why Does It Matter?
Ever handed out “eco-friendly” merch and wondered – is it really sustainable? You’re not alone. The market’s full of green-washed gear that talks the talk but doesn’t walk it. At Promotion Products, we do things differently. We’re a certified carbon-neutral business, every product is fully carbon-offset at no extra cost, and we plant trees with every order. And now, with the AWARE™ range, transparency and traceability take sustainable merch to the next level.
The AWARE™ range flips the script. It’s not just “recycled” It’s traceable. Every AWARE™ product includes a physical tracer and a blockchain-based certificate that proves it’s made from authentic recycled materials and reduced water usage.
That means:
- No greenwashing
- No guessing
- Just good, honest promotional merchandise with proof to back it up
And that’s exactly what modern brands and customers are craving.
How AWARE™ Technology Tracks Sustainability Claims
So, what’s a tracer, exactly?
Every AWARE™ product contains a tiny embedded tracer – think of it like a fingerprint for recycled material. It’s invisible to the eye but acts as a unique ID that verifies the product’s origin and makeup.
Blockchain-backed sustainability
AWARE™ takes it up a notch by connecting each tracer to the blockchain. That means once the product’s info is uploaded (how much water was saved, how much material was recycled, etc.), it can’t be altered.
Scan the tag. Check the numbers. Trust the claims.
You get cold, hard data like:
- Litres of water saved
- Verified percentage of recycled materials
- Carbon emission comparisons
Perfect for ESG reporting, client decks, or even a social media campaign that actually means something.
Benefits of Using AWARE™ Promotional Products
Built in trust
When your promotional products come with a blockchain trail, your brand gets a trust boost. You’re not just saying you’re sustainable, you’re showing it. You’re living your values.
Story-driven marketing
That QR code on the tag? It’s your ticket to a killer brand story.
“Check out how we saved 35 litres of water just by switching from traditional cotton.” It’s click-worthy, share-worthy, and it shows you care as well. This provides a real chance to connect to your audience and create a real community.
Cut through the noise
Let’s be real: anyone can pop “eco” on a product. AWARE™ lets you stand out with measurable impact and verifiable claims. That’s something competitors can’t copy-paste.
