Concept's Product of the Week #53 - Coffee Based Promos

February 02, 2023 2 min read

Worldwide, we produce around an estimated 18 million tonnes of wet, waste coffee grounds. That shouldn't come as a surprise though, I mean...who doesn't love a cup of coffee.

But once the java’s been poured, what happens to all those spent grounds?

Well these are typically dumped into general waste and sent to landfill where they emit methane. This does no favours for global warming and leaves a by-product that is unused. But not anymore!

These coffee grounds are now being transformed into practical raw materials which can then create valuable products. More recently, the concept of coffee-based promotional merchandise has began to gain traction, where it offers eco-friendly solutions to popular items like notebooks and pens.

The list doesn't just end there however and that's why we have chosen to show you our top picks for coffee-based promos.

A coffee mug...made from coffee!

This durable custom branded travel mug is double walled with a material combining coffee grounds and sugar cane waste. Easy to access and refill with wide opening and snap closure on the lid, you can drink that hot morning latte inside the 250ml drinks cup. 

Personalise the front side of this recycled coffee grounds mug with corporate branding or messages to further increase the impact of this promotional drinkware item.

Catch the eye

Believe it or not, sunny days are likely to return sometime soon so this requires a trusty pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes. These stylish shades use recycled ocean bound plastic and coffee grounds which form a sustainable giveaway option for tradeshows and other events. 

With branding printed on each arm of the glasses, your companies efforts towards protecting the planet will be put on view when the specs are worn by its recipients.

Knock their socks off!

Yes, that does say socks. Coffee grounds are mixed with recycled PET and are then used to make the yarns that these cosy socks are knitted from. The promotional coffee socks make a fun and quirky branded gift to use as part of your next marketing campaign, leaving customers with something they can wear and remember for years to come. 

A digital sleeve is featured around the giftbox which these coffee socks are presented in, allowing any advertising or tagline to draw lasting attention.

Hit the right notes

A cup of coffee in the morning helps to stem lots of new ideas through the day and now, those coffee grounds that are left after brewing have been used to create this sustainable A5 notebook. Ideal for taking notes during important meetings and business lunches, the coffee notebook inspires your customers and staff to be productive. It even smells like coffee too!

No notes can be taken without a pen so why not stick to the theme and pair the notebook with a personalised coffee-based ball pen.
