We wrote about Gemline’s online green site with its virtual catalog. Well Debco has gone one better (make that three better) and posted three vitual catalogs, their 2008 GIFT BOOK, MAIN CATALOGUE, and GREEN BOOK. Looks like this is the way things are head in 2009, less paper printing, less gas used in shipping, so good for Debco.
Of course of these virtual catalog Ecopreneurists will be most interested in the GREEN BOOK which contains 56 virtual pages of products and green information, including a much appreciated glossary of terms.
We especially like Debco’s organic and natural cotton bags, however the catalog covers promotional items from bags to bamboo cutting boards to solar powered items.
I am going to assume that the 2008 gift book will be replaced with the 2009 gift book. Which brings up another point. These sites seem to be electronic versions of the printed catalogs. Does that mean they only get updated when the printed catalogs are revised?
If that is the case I would think the best place to look for up to date infomation on Debco items would be on their main website www.debcosolutions.com. For more information and pricing on these items please see the websites mentioned or contact us at info@proformagreen.com.
Upadate. The Debco virtual catalog has moved to http://www.officebeacon.com/ecatalog/Debco/canada/
