“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.”
Sustainability is high on consumers’ minds, here’s why it should be on yours too
Feb 12, 2020
Consumers throw away the equivalent of the weight of the Empire State Building every year – and that’s just in North America. The fashion sector is worth approximately $1.4 billion, and it’s one of the biggest polluting industries in the world, with a large environmental footprint. Once upon a time fast fashion didn’t exist. But brands began to make their clothes as inexpensively as they could. The fashion sector is full of complex supply chains, and it’s rife with companies looking for low-cost labour and low-cost materials. Workers are often exploited, paid unfair wages and they are forced to work long hours.
The environmental result is that clothes have become disposable. Clothing usually ends up in landfill, with one truck full of clothes being burned or dumped every second (Reuters). According to the World Resources Institute, 85% of textiles go into landfills each year – that’s enough to fill the Sydney harbour every year. Now we’re seeing the rise of the eco conscious consumer because of increased awareness of climate change. According to a recent study by Unilever, 21% of consumer support brands that practice sustainability and show this through their marketing and packaging, so ethical and sustainable sourcing is a vital part of your brand.
At Marke, we’re passionate about ethical and sustainable merchandise solutions. We care about the origin of our products which is why we conduct regular factory audits to maintain high-quality standards.
Our sustainable apparel options can help you make ethical business choices with ease. We aren’t afraid of trying something new. We can help you create wonders with apparel, offering you sustainable alternatives like our uniforms with our RPET workwear, bags made from ocean plastic and apparel made from recycled fabrics like cotton and plastic bottles.
Here’s a taster of the sustainable apparel we can offer you:
RPET clothing (e.g. bags made from recycled plastic bottles)
Bags made from reclaimed ocean waste and organic cotton
Socks made from recycled fishing nets
Let’s face it. Clothes made from synthetic materials take hundreds of years to biodegrade. We don’t have hundreds of years – it’s time to act now.
You can play your part in tackling the world’s waste problem. Get in touch with us at hiya@markecreative.com to discuss your options.
