Industry Sustainability Goals
The BPMA is actively working with the industry to promote sustainable, recycled and reusable materials. Like many other industries, the promotional merchandise industry promotes a reuse and recycle policy.
Our StepForward Pledge
The BPMA is working with its members to change the way we work and the work we make. The StepForward Pledge is a BPMA-led initiative helping members take proactive steps to improve their sustainability performance, accelerating the pace of change towards a more sustainable future for our industry. Launched in June 2023, members who have already taken the Pledge can be seen in our directory together with their sustainability statement, which details their goals as businesses. You can find out more about our StepForward Pledge here.
The BPMA is partnered with Planet Mark to support our members on the road to net zero and is also a member of AdNetZero.

Ask your Distributor to include reuse and recycle instructions for your next campaign
It's simple to include instructions on products to help your customers to choose reuse and recycling, helping reduce waste. Most businesses and consumers actively seek instructions on how to recycle or reuse branded items. Please ask your Distributor to include appropriate recycling instructions on your next branded product, especially if branded items can be recycled in general household recycling.
