Eco-Friendly Lanyards, Without the Compromise

Sustainability now shapes procurement decisions across every sector, and our RPET lanyards make it easier to deliver on. RPET (Recycled Polyethylene Terephthalate) turns used plastic bottles into durable lanyard material, keeping them out of landfill and giving them a genuine second life.

Producing RPET also uses less energy and emits fewer greenhouse gases than manufacturing new polyester, so switching cuts your order's environmental impact without any compromise on strength or comfort. Every RPET lanyard still comes with the same breakaway safety and colour range as our standard lanyards, just with a lower footprint.

Common FAQs about Lanyards


What is a Lanyard?


A lanyard is a durable strap worn around the neck to keep essential items visible and within easy reach. Commonly used for ID cards, they offer a hands-free way to display identification and streamline everyday access control.

Although they’re most often paired with an ID card holder, lanyards can carry far more such as, key fobs, slot-punched cards, security passes, and small accessories, making it a versatile tool for workplaces, events, and secure environments.




What type of lanyard is best for my organisation?


That depends on how the lanyards will be used. For day to day use, plain or pre-printed lanyards with safety breakaways are a simple, cost-effective option. If you want to promote your brand or event, custom printed lanyards with your logo or colours are ideal. For environments like healthcare, you'll want specific lanyards like NHS and more.




Can I get lanyards printed with my company logo?


Yes, our custom lanyards can include your logo, brand colours or other designs. You can choose from different print styles like screen print for simple logos or dye sublimation for full-colour artwork. Simply upload your artwork for our team and we will do the rest.
