Plants as ecological advertising media 🌵🌵🌵
I have had a small cactus on my table for about 2 years now and that probably makes it the most visible and environmentally friendly promotional item in my household.

Wooden toothbrushes 🌳🌳🌳
We see it at least twice a day – the toothbrush. While the useful helper keeps our teeth sparkling clean, discarded toothbrushes pollute the environment heavily. If you just replace the plastic handle with an environmentally friendly material such as wood, you can already save quite a bit of harmful plastic. The wooden toothbrush can even be made in Switzerland, which saves on top of the long transport route. There are price differences, of course, due to the different quality. As an eco promotional product, the brush offers plenty of space on the front and back for an individual logo engraving.
| Eco-benefits | Swiss made & no transportation, recyclable |
|---|---|
| Costs | From CHF 4.- to CHF 15.- |
| Benefit | Daily min. 2x, Clean teeth without plastic |
