WEST PALM BEACH, FL--(Marketwire - January 4, 2011) - EmbroidMe, Inc., the world's largest embroidery and screen printing franchise helps businesses create environmentally conscious workplaces. Fabric and apparel manufacturing has made incredible strides in becoming more environmentally friendly and safer for the consumer. EmbroidMe continues to add eco-friendly products to offer to the business and consumer markets.
One of the most eco-friendly apparel fibers is organic cotton. Cotton has historically been one of the most water-intensive and pest-sensitive crops. However, that is rapidly changing with innovative farming methods. Some techniques include: composted manures and cover crops to replace synthetic fertilizers, innovative weeding can be used instead of herbicides, "friendly" insects to control pests, and alternatives to harmful defoliants prepare the cotton for harvest.
In addition to being made from innovative fabrics, the clothes themselves are also taking on new purposes. These clothes made from "Smart Fabrics" are being developed to make it possible to monitor your heart, measure the composition of your fluid levels and even more. With every new innovation, consumers have more choices; and EmbroidMe will have a greater opportunity to offer more products.
Whether choosing embroidered apparel, client gifts, incentive awards or employee prizes, EmbroidMe can assist with creating an environmentally friendly culture. EmbroidMe has more than 8,000 cost-effective, environmentally friendly promotional products, including: apparel made from Engeo corn or bamboo, rulers made from recycled plastic, organic totes made from recycled bottles, pens made from corn derivatives and pencils made from 50% recycled paper. With more than 800,000 products to choose from, almost anything can be imprinted with a company logo or name, which will leave a long-lasting impression of the company and brand.
"We are constantly creating ways to help businesses grow and build their brand, while making a lasting impression. With thousands of options to choose from at EmbroidMe, it has never been more convenient, cost-effective and environmentally conscious to get your company's name out there," states Christine Marion, E-Marketing Specialist for EmbroidMe.
