Our Unique Methodology

Ecologic Designs works with organizations to manufacture OEM, Private Label and Co-Branded products made from either your waste or materials we've previously reclaimed. Our services will deliver the perfect promotional and resale goods right to your door.

Today, consumers desire products that are manufactured responsibly - ones that benefit people and our planet. The fact that we produce everything domestically means we stimulate the U.S. economy and significantly reduce the negative impacts of globalization.

Since Ecologic Designs is committed to a sustainable business model and manufacturing practices, your organization can leverage our story and negative footprint to add value to your campaign. Cut waste management costs, leverage your marketing budget, make a profit from something you would discard. Create products with Ecologic Designs and increase your triple bottom line.

Beyond Your Expectations

  • Sustainable product design, feasibility studies and limited lifecycle analyses

Green Materials Pros and Cons

The Pros: Every single item is unique, which means your customers will develop very personal connections to the products we make for you. We capture very artistic and visually stimulating elements that bring character and a sense of experience to your products. When they find out how and from what it was made, you'll get a smile every time. Because Ecologic Designs operates so efficiently, every one of your products will actually give back more to the planet than the resources it took to make. Besides, how else can you turn a $2,500 highway billboard into 40 walking advertisements for the next 20 years?

Our job as reclamation engineers and sustainable product designers is to determine the best applications for reclaimed textiles. We evaluate materials on many levels and we test each to the limits of performance, durability and overall sustainability impact. The wide selection of products in our custom manufacture catalog illustrates our expertise in combining dynamic materials into functional and cutting-edge products.

The Cons: Reclaimed materials aren't generally designed to be made into things other than their intended use. Usually, the intended use has a very small lifespan, and when discarded the item has absolutely no value except as a toxic burden. This is where our extensive testing really contributes to the quality of our finished goods. Vinyl isn't meant to be folded, vulcanized rubber resists when we try to apply your logo to it directly, nylon ropes release chemicals when you burn them, only skilled industrial sewers and heavy-duty machines can be used to properly fabricate with these resources and certain parts of a wetsuit can never be used in our production.

There are limitations to the way reclaimed materials perform, but when engineered effectively, they create beautiful products that pass as works of art. When we have to buy raw materials, we use only the highest-value fabrics, padding and components available.
