The 2009 eco products are starting to show up. Avaline has improved their eco-friendly lanyard made from 100% PLA (a corn fabric that is biodegradable according to Avaline).
What can I say? It is a lanyard, not a lot of excitement here, but if you are doing an event it is a nice touch to have a lanyard that will break down once it reaches the landfill.
For green event companies these items or similar should be a no brainer. Organic cotton is also popular as are PET lanyards.
At EQP $1.40 for a 1inch wide lanyard pricing is still about your standard cotton units, but this product from Avaline has a clearer reproduction (screen printing) on the lanyard itself.
