A Very Sustainable Christmas - Marke Creative Merchandise

The festive season is the perfect occasion to relax, eat good food and enjoy quality time with people you wish you saw more of, but unfortunately, statistics tell us that this time of the year contributes to a whole lot of unnecessary waste and pollution.

Did you know that in the UK we throw away on average 108 million rolls of wrapping paper every Christmas? Reusable fabric gift wraps are the ideal zero-waste alternative for a waste-free Christmas. The Japanese have been using furoshiki, the art of wrapping with fabric, for centuries. This tasteful and eco-friendly solution promotes caring for the environment as the fabric cloth can be used repeatedly and can even be thrown in the washing machine if needed.

For another sustainable way to keep waste down this Christmas with Recycling your old Christmas tree! Because around 6 million trees lit up homes and offices across the UK last year, but only 10% were recycled. If you bought a tree this year, don’t forget to bring it to your local council’s Christmas tree recycling scheme (you can check drop-off points on your council’s website). These trees are usually chipped and used as compost in parks or woodland areas.

Here at Marke Creative, we’re dreaming of a green Christmas this year again. Let’s all contribute to a smaller carbon footprint – and make Christmas really count!

Energy

"Without each one of the Staples / Marke team, our go live launch date would not have been possible. The team showed true dedication and determination. The time and effort put in was just amazing. The professionalism and the endless hours spent was impressive. It feels good to operate with a team that is so self-reliant and motivated and who, despite having a busy schedule, made the project look easy. The amount of effort that the team put into the job to complete it was tremendous. The energy levels and the sincerity which was displayed were exemplary. You not only motivate others but also push them to give their all at work. I am so blessed to have been able to work with all of you."

Automotive

"We work closely with Marke Creative due to their expert local market knowledge and flexibility to react to local market conditions, giving us an advantage to offer a market-specific range while reacting to any potential issues effectively for our dealers and end-customers. The Marke Creative team represent many of our core values: by challenging the norm and continually offering a range that excites and ignites the brand passion. Having worked with Marke Creative for a number of years, the team’s passion for what they do shows through in everything they do."

Financial Services

"My experience with Marke Creative representatives is that they always go above and beyond. Communication is great. If something is out of stock, or the lead time may take longer than average, they always source a great alternative for me. The team are very knowledgeable about their products. In light of this, I have found that the quality of the products has been superb."

Education

"We were particularly impressed by the level of commitment and professionalism that characterises the organisational culture at Marke Creative. We also recognise and admire Marke Creative’s passion for sustainability which was the theme of our event."

Retail

"Your support, ideas, thinking and can-do attitude enabled us to develop a sustainable solution our exec team were happy to stand behind and also one we could use across our 3000 convenience store estate."
