My Nametags cares about the future generation, just like you. We believe in our children, parents and in our future.
Our way of contributing to this and having a positive impact is caring about the environment and working towards a more sustainable future.
We go through a huge amount of objects throughout our lives. Most of these objects are made of plastic and paper and while opting for more environmentally friendly material is possible it is also more expensive. The carbon footprint of the things we do and consume could be reduced significantly by changing small things.
Our labels help to make a big impact on sustainability. Annually, 1.4 million school uniforms and items are lost, creating approx. 354 tonnes of waste in landfills. Our research shows that labelled items have a 50% higher chance of being found and returned resulting in reducing waste.
We are always trying to improve and this includes being more environmentally conscious and green.
We produce something that helps others help the environment.
We pay a little more to use recycled paper for our cover letters.
None of our products use animal products, making us vegan.
We return anything that can be reused, including our material rolls.
Approximately 32% of most clothing and school uniforms are made from polyester, a material known for its recycling challenges. Once polyester is recycled, it loses its strength, making it predominantly a single-use material. This becomes even more concerning as children tend to lose an average of 9 clothing items per school year, resulting in a considerable accumulation of lost garments in landfills. And tragically, the decomposition of the polyester in the lost clothing can take hundreds of years. Thankfully, you can help to prevent this. Simply add a label to your child's clothing, doubling the likelihood of your child's clothing being returned if lost!
