A personalized hiking backpack to showcase your sustainable commitment

The world of promotional products is moving toward more transparency and responsibility, and this hiking backpack is the perfect illustration. Designed for companies wishing to offer an employee gift that is both useful and meaningful, this 18L model combines proven outdoor technicality with rigorous environmental traceability. Unlike standard products, it is part of a global approach to reducing the ecological footprint, without compromising on the robustness necessary for outdoor activities.

By choosing this model from BrandedGift, you opt for a communication medium that reflects the values of sustainability and authenticity of your institution.

AWARE™ Technology: total traceability of recycled materials

What truly distinguishes this promotional backpack is the integration of AWARE™ technology. This traceability system uses a physical tracer and blockchain technology to ensure that the declared materials are actually present in the final product. Each bag is made from 11 recycled PET bottles, a concrete figure that allows you to quantify the positive impact of your order. This transparency is essential to avoid any risk of greenwashing and to offer your customers or employees a product whose origin is certified and verifiable.

Technical design respectful of health and the environment

User safety and compliance with environmental standards are at the heart of this bag’s design. It is guaranteed PVC-free and free from controversial substances. Its manufacture strictly complies with the phthalate content directive and REACH regulations, ensuring the absence of harmful chemicals. Furthermore, it meets ZEK 01-4-08 requirements regarding polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) content and complies with European directives on azo dyes and cadmium. Its production is also overseen by BSCI social audits, guaranteeing ethical working conditions throughout the production chain.

Why integrate this ecological promotional item into your strategy?

Offering this backpack also means participating in a global solidarity project. For every product sold in the Impact range, 2% of the proceeds are donated directly to Water.org, an organization working for access to safe water and sanitation worldwide. With a carbon footprint evaluated at 2.74 kg of CO2, this bag displays a measurable environmental performance. This is a strong argument for your CSR reports and for strengthening your brand image with an audience increasingly attentive to climate issues.

User comfort and outdoor versatility

Beyond its ecological virtues, this bag remains a high-performance work and leisure tool. Its large central compartment allows for efficient organization of personal belongings, while multiple additional pockets provide quick access to small essential items. The lightweight design makes it easy to carry for long periods, whether for a hike on Swiss trails or a seminar day. Its versatility makes it a premium event goodies choice, capable of appealing to both sports enthusiasts and urban professionals looking for a functional and sober bag.X_00908
