Eco-friendly corporate gifts: recycled bags from Réunion Island
Clients, staff, team events, welcoming visitors: why a bag made from recycled bottles and illustrated with Réunion Island makes a useful, consistent corporate gift.
By Tropical Factory4 min read
A good eco-friendly corporate gift is something useful that people keep, that reflects the company’s values and that supports local production. Bags, pouches and insulated bags made from recycled plastic bottles and illustrated with Réunion Island designs meet all four criteria.
Here is how to approach it for your organisation.
Why give an eco-friendly gift?
Throwaway promotional items often end up at the back of a drawer. A successful corporate gift, on the other hand:
- is genuinely useful to the person who receives it;
- lasts, and reminds them of your company every time they use it;
- is consistent with an environmental or local approach;
- brings pleasure, because it is beautiful and has a story.
A reusable bag ticks every box: people take it shopping, to the market, to the beach or to work, often for a long time.
Why Tropical Factory bags?
Made from recycled bottles
All our bags are made from recycled plastic bottles. That sends a clear message for a company that wants to show its commitment: the gift itself gives waste a second life.
A brand based on Réunion Island
Tropical Factory is based in Les Avirons. Choosing our bags means choosing a local brand, with designs inspired by the island: the lychee, the white-tailed tropicbird, the Creole house, the traveller’s tree, the chameleon, the sea turtle.

A few ideas by occasion
For a seminar or team day
One pouch or insulated bottle bag per participant: useful on the day, and reused afterwards.
For your clients at year end
An XL classic tote, for example in Ravenala, the traveller’s tree, or Tropical, which celebrates the island’s lush vegetation. For more seasonal ideas, see our island Christmas gift ideas.
For your staff
An insulated lunch bag for their midday meal. It is an everyday gift, used every day. All the insulated sizes are in the Insulated bags range.
For welcoming visitors
Hotels, guesthouses, tourist offices, visitor centres: a bag illustrated with the island is a useful souvenir for your guests, and a fine ambassador for Réunion Island.
A gift that carries your message
A corporate gift says something about the giver. By choosing a bag made from recycled bottles and illustrated with Réunion Island, you send several messages at once:
- care for the environment, through the recycled material;
- local roots, with a brand based on the island and designs that pay tribute to it;
- a focus on usefulness, with something people carry every day rather than a gadget.
Add a short note explaining your choice: it gives the gift more meaning for the person who receives it.
How to place a business order
All business requests go through the form on the Business Orders page. Include:
- your company name and contact details;
- the subject of your request;
- the quantities and sizes you have in mind;
- your timeline, especially if the order is linked to an event;
- any customisation requests.
The team will get back to you to look at your project. Possible quantities, timelines and options depend on each request and are worked out with them.
Order early for the holidays
For an end-of-year gift, get in touch early enough: it leaves time to discuss the project, prepare the order and ship it. For a simple single order online, parcels ship within 5 business days of confirmation.
