One of the most widely-recognized brands in the world, Bic is also one of the largest suppliers to the promotional products industry. Their brand is synonymous with pens and lighters for many, but Bic's promotional product line includes a wide array of items including magnets, drinkware, notebooks and the Atchison line of bags, briefs & duffels.
As the demand for green promotional products has grown, Bic has responded by introducing the Bic Ecolutions line of items made of recycled materials and renewable resources. This collection includes:
- Pens made with recycled plastics
- Sticky Note Pads made with recycled paper
- Magnets made with recycled content
- Mousepads & Notebooks made of recycled paper & fiber
- Bags, Totes & Briefs made with recycled fibers
One of the things I really like about Bic as an Ecoswag Supplier is their transparency about the eco-friendly materials used in their Ecolutions products, and easy-to-understand explanations of the manufacturing processes involved. While there is limited information on their website, their printed catalog contains much more detail and makes our job of eco-product research much easier. Plus their catalogs are printed on recycled paper (which was probably quite an investment, considering the size of Bic's catalog!). Additionally, Bic has addressed sustainability in their packaging & ships in corrugated boxes containing a minimum of 30% recycled fiber (of which 70% is post-consumer waste).
In choosing products for Ecoswag.com, our research begins with the supplier. Can they back up their Eco-friendly claims? Do they have third party certifications for their products and working conditions? These are the questions our research team is asking before we select products to offer on our site.
After reviewing their catalog, website & conducting a phone interview, Bic is one of the suppliers that made the cut for Ecoswag.com. We offer their Ecolutions product line feeling confident that the products represent an eco-responsible choice for our clients - and be equally confident of Bic's product quality and imprinting capabilities & on-time delivery history.

We're in a bit of a quiet period right now in terms of marketing Ecoswag.com or adding new products as we await the completion of our total site re-design, which is getting close. In the meantime, our product research team is conducting Supplier Interviews and gathering research on the eco-credentials of each product on our site. Our new site design will give us room to include more eco-information to help you make informed choices, as well as support multiple product images and links to more information and certifications.
I realize there are a lot of sites out there offering "green promotional products", but my goal is to make Ecoswag.com the site of choice in this category. One of the ways I'm doing that is by making sure our products are genuinely eco-responsible and by checking out those claims before putting products on the site. As more people jump on the Eco Bandwagon in our industry, greenwashing is something to watch out for. In an industry with over 3,000 suppliers it's vital to know who we're dealing with and whether they can stand behind their product claims. I want you to feel confident when you shop our site and know you're not going to be greenwashed.
Thanks for reading & over the next couple of weeks I'll talk more about our Supplier interviews so you can know more about where the Ecoswag products come from.
