Name badges are a small but crucial piece in many different industries. From hospitals and schools to conventions and conferences, people often wear name badges as a way of identifying themselves in a large crowd or to highlight their importance within an organisation.

However, name badges are usually made from plastic or PVC, which can take hundreds of years to degrade if improperly disposed of. Luckily for you (and for our planet), bamboo is an ideal alternative: once you place an order with Signal Advantage for bamboo name badges, they are shipped out within 2 business ready to be use! Plus—let’s not forget that bamboo is totally trendy right now. The fashion world has been using it as an eco-friendly material for years!

From office workplaces to school settings and beyond, name badges can be essential for making people feel welcome and helping others feel at ease when working with each other. They can help break the ice and make new people feel welcome or at ease in their new environment. In addition, name badges have been shown to improve workplace security by allowing employees to easily identify one another.

However, most name badges are made from materials that are far from environmentally friendly. Plastic and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) are non-biodegradable and can take centuries to degrade. The majority of plastic products on the market today are recyclable—but what about all those disposable items like name badges? Many companies don't offer recycling services for anything other than paper and cardboard, making it difficult for them to recycle anything else.

Fortunately, there is one material that is both incredibly strong and 100% biodegradable. Bamboo is a sustainable material that has been growing for hundreds of years, and because bamboo doesn't have any toxins or chemicals in its makeup, it's naturally pest and disease resistant. This means that less chemicals are needed to maintain the health of bamboo forests, which saves money as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing processes that involve chemical use.

 This means that you can use your bamboo name badge for as long as you need it, then recycle it when you move roles or companies.  Signal Advantage is a leader in Name Badges, so let us know how we can assist you with your next name badge purchase.
