Biodegradable products are those that, over time, can be broken down into their constituent elements by biological organisms and processes. Traditional polymers derived from petroleum bases are not biodegradable, but paper and textile goods are. Consumer packaging and disposable eating goods created from novel biodegradable plastics derived from corn and other plant sources provide several environmental and efficiency benefits over nonbiodegradable alternatives.
- Biodegradable products are those that, over time, can be broken down into their constituent elements by biological organisms and processes. Instead of oil, biodegradable products are created from renewable resources such as corn, sugar cane, and potato starch.
- Pollution is reduced. Because biodegradable consumer products can break down into benign components, they do not produce hazardous chemical leachate that can poison water or off gassing that can contaminate the air.
- Compostability – Composting biodegradable plastics, as well as regular biodegradable paper goods, yard, culinary, and agricultural wastes, can provide a rich humic substance that can increase water and nutrient retention while also allowing plants to grow healthier with fewer chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Unlike paper and textiles, which may be composted in a backyard compost bin, biodegradable plastics can currently only be decomposed in industrial composting facilities that can maintain high composting temperatures.

- Slim Notebooks or Journals
Many firms distribute journals as one of their most popular environmentally friendly promotional materials. Distribute notebooks to consumers so they may jot down their thoughts while also helping the environment by using 100 percent recycled paper.
Eco Frisco notebooks, for example, employ soy-based, organic inks to reduce environmental effect. Use digital print transfer or debossing to add your customized branding. Aside from notebooks and journals, a sticky note set made of recycled paper is an option.
Pencils and pens that have been recycled
Use a recycled pen or pencil to match your diaries and notebooks. Use ballpoint pens manufactured from recycled water bottles instead of regular pens. These would be ideal as part of your exhibition giveaway package. You can also make pencils out of cash or recycled paper. All of those old files containing useless or out-of-date information can be converted into a pencil.
