“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.”
“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.“
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
Reusable masks help minimise the environmental impact of COVID
Sep 14, 2020
With the resurgence of COVID occurring worldwide it’s safe to say that social distancing and hygiene practices will continue for some time. While mask-wearing has been adopted in different countries with varying levels of adherence, it’s clear that disposable masks may have one of the most disappointing and avoidable impacts to the environment.
Across the UK and Europe the standard 3-ply disposable civilian mask appears to remain the mask of choice by many. And increasingly these masks, along with gloves, hand sanitiser bottles and other coronavirus waste are already being found on our seabeds and washed up on our beaches, joining the day-to-day detritus in our ocean ecosystems.
Along with photos and videos showing disturbing evidence of this new form of pollution, French clean-up charity Opération Mer Propre is among those calling for action: “There risks being more masks than jellyfish”
That’s where companies can play an important role in supplying staff with reusable masks that limit impact to the environment. With endless design, branding and messaging options, overt or subtle, they provide a perfect opportunity to reinforce awareness of your corporate commitment to sustainability, and encourage environmentally friendly habits amongst employees.
Increasing evidence from studies published in well-regarded scientific publications include the New England Journal of Medicine and The Lancet suggests that the amount of virus someone is exposed to at the start of infection – the “infectious dose” – may determine the severity of their illness and that wearing masks could reduce the infectious dose that the wearer is exposed due to filtering out some virus-containing droplets.
