Sow Easy Celebrates Plastic Free July

Sow Easy Celebrates Plastic Free July with Sustainable Seed-Based Promotions

As millions of people around the world come together for Plastic Free July, Sow Easy is proud to support the global movement encouraging individuals and businesses to reduce their reliance on single-use plastics and make more sustainable choices.

Founded in 2011 by the Plastic Free Foundation, Plastic Free July has grown into a worldwide campaign involving participants across more than 190 countries. The initiative inspires people to make simple changes that create lasting habits and help tackle plastic pollution.

At Sow Easy, sustainability has always been at the heart of what we do. From our UK-made seed paper and Seedsticks® products to our focus on environmentally responsible materials and manufacturing, we believe promotional products can leave a lasting impression without leaving a lasting impact on the planet.

Plastic Free July provides an opportunity for businesses to reflect on the materials they use every day and consider alternatives that support a more circular economy. Whether it’s reducing unnecessary packaging, choosing reusable solutions or selecting eco-friendly promotional merchandise, small changes made collectively can have a significant impact.

Many of Sow Easy’s products are designed to help brands communicate their environmental values while offering recipients something useful, memorable and biodegradable. Products such as Seedsticks®, Pencil Seedsticks®, and seed paper cards provide a sustainable alternative to conventional giveaways and encourage people to grow flowers, herbs and vegetables rather than generate waste.

“Our mission has always been to create promotional products that are kinder to the environment and inspire positive change,” said a spokesperson for Sow Easy. “Plastic Free July is a reminder that sustainability isn’t about perfection – it’s about making better choices, one step at a time.”

Research from the Plastic Free July movement shows that small actions can lead to long-term behavioural change, with many participants continuing their new habits long after July has ended. By choosing products made from renewable and biodegradable materials, businesses can help reduce plastic waste and demonstrate their commitment to a more sustainable future.

This July, Sow Easy encourages businesses, distributors and consumers alike to join the movement and discover how small changes can make a big difference.
