Earth Friendly Lanyards

Sustainable Lanyards From Recycled Plastic

Eco-friendly lanyards can be created in a number of different ways. One of the popular materials for creating these kinds of lanyards is recycled PET. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a highly recyclable product found in plastic. When a plastic bottle, for example, is recycled, it’s put through a process that changes its composition until only the PET is left over.

This material is strong and durable and can be put to a number of different uses. While it’s commonly used to create new, sustainable plastic bottles, it’s also often turned into a fabric. This fabric made from recycled PET is stronger than natural fibers, and the creation of it doesn’t draw on natural resources.

For anyone thinking of ordering an earth friendly lanyard made out of recycled plastic, you should know that this material doesn’t take to the dying process as well as natural fibers. We can still dye your PET lanyards if you request, but please note that the color might not come out as exact as you were hoping.

Different Uses for Eco-Friendly Lanyards

A lot of the high quality lanyards we produce are intended for use in a corporate environment. Anything intended to be worn as a part of a work uniform often is created in order to help an employee carry their ID card with them at all times. To those ends, we offer a number of different top load badge holders, all in their own unique shape and size to meet any needs.

Taking care of the environment is everyone’s responsibility. For that reason, eco-friendly lanyards are great for any and every use you can imagine. However, for some of our customers, the best use for a custom order of biodegradable lanyards is single-use events.

This isn’t to say that earth friendly lanyards won’t last as long as our other lanyard types when properly cared for. It’s just that the customers most likely to order these lanyards are more concerned with what will happen to them when they’re discarded.

Along those lines, we’ve found these lanyards are perfect for people looking for something to be used for a specific event like a trade show or a music festival. Given the likelihood that the people who get the lanyards at these events will dispose of them immediately after, it’s easier to rest comfortably knowing that the lanyards themselves won’t have a major environmental impact.

School lanyards are also prime for being made through more sustainable practices. Because these lanyards tend to be changed for each new school year, they carry the same concerns as lanyards for single-use events. Get a sustainable lanyard for your next school lanyard order and use them to teach your students about recycling or composting when the year draws to a close.
