How is BPA Used?
Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical building block that is used primarily to make polycarbonate plastic and epoxy resins. Polycarbonate plastic is a lightweight, high-performance plastic that possesses a unique balance of toughness, optical clarity, high heat resistance, and excellent electrical resistance. Because of these attributes, polycarbonate is used in a wide variety of common products including digital media (e.g., CDs, DVDs), electrical and electronic equipment, automobiles, sports safety equipment, reusable food and drink containers, and many other products.

There is a huge global focus on environmental sustainability and organizations that do not conform to the highest of standards can suffer immeasurable damage to their brand. We have seen major international companies pay a heavy price for their failure to ensure the safety of their consumers, and especially the negative impact in the media of having to recall promotional products that are not safe. According to Reuters on Friday 4th of June 2010, a major global fast food business made a voluntary recall of 13.4 million drinking glasses in North America due to the items containing excessive permissible levels of Cadmium

Wonderful natural elements are utilized as base materials, such as Recycled plastic bottles, Bamboo, Cotton and corn, which give the promotional products a fantastic look and feel. Not only are these natural elements environmentally sustainable but every material used in the manufacturing of the range is made of compliant elements, and in some cases exceeds, the strictest of domestic and international standards.
The new range includes promotional items such as various folders, notebooks, pens, bags, drink ware, outdoor accessories, office accessories, novelties, tools and even a wind up torch/radio.
