At one time, I happened to check out all the other lanyard options and noticed a new tag; eco-friendly lanyards. On digging into the new product a bit, I realised that eco-friendly lanyards in Ireland were produced from recycled plastic. Frankly, I find it fascinating that plastic can be converted into a lanyard in Ireland. But hey, if instead of going into a waste heap or rubbish heap or ground fill somewhere, if plastic can be converted into a lanyard, then I’m all for it.

So, I dug a bit deeper and found out that just like other lanyards, eco-friendly lanyards too can be custom printed in the full array of colours. But if plain colours are what you seek, then eco-friendly lanyards in Ireland are available in white, red, black, green, yellow, blue and a variety of other colours. I was assured that other solid colours are available upon request and that the supplier could even offer the popular ‘rainbow’ style of lanyards, which gives the rainbow effect across the whole surface. Great, I thought.

If you need customised lanyards then you could opt for customised eco-friendly lanyards that contain logos, background styles, text and even numbering. I am considering including a design that says ‘this lanyard is recycled’ for our next order – so that other people can also see the product!

For those of you who are wondering whether eco-friendly lanyards in Ireland appear different from regular lanyards, here’s the best kept secret about these eco-friendly lanyards; they are completely indistinguishable from regular non-eco-friendly lanyards. So go ahead, save the planet, and feel nice about it while at the same time, meeting your objectives of buying lanyards.

For those of us who are technically inclined, eco-friendly lanyards are manufactured using recycled Polyethylene therophyte (rPET). It is procured when from used plastic fruit juice cans and bottles, used food cartons and other similar products.

Instead of the plastic being dumped in some landfill and polluting the planet, they are recycled and made into a fresh material that can be put to good use. One of these uses is converting the recycled plastic into lanyard material. There is a small extra charge for ordering recycled lanyards but really when considering the good it does for the environment it is a fair price, and I am sure anyone who recycles at home or at work will be happy to pay the extra amount.

There’s a whole range of standard accessories that are available with the eco-friendly lanyards, these include the black safety breakaway which is not visible when worn. The black safety breakaway is a safety device that detaches the lanyard if it gets pulled.

For example, if the lanyard gets caught in a door or lift, or in some moving machinery, the safety device will break off automatically and avoid injury. A range of different accessories is available with the environmentally friendly lanyards including buckles, hooks and claws. Additionally, many people use plastic pockets to hold ID badges at the end of the lanyard for identification purposes.

My company has been buying its custom lanyards from https://www.irelandlanyards.com for years but only recently moved over to the eco friendly type. We are very happy with the new product and nobody would notice the difference in material. With great prices and a helpful sales team on hand we are very happy to order from them.
