Exclusive Finds: 5 Trending Sustainable Products in South Africa

Sustainability is no longer just a global trend—it’s a movement making a real difference in South Africa. With Earth Day around the corner on 22 April, now is the perfect time for businesses to integrate eco-friendly choices into their branding, events, and everyday operations. Whether you’re looking to impress clients, motivate employees, or elevate your brand with eco-conscious corporate gifts, these trending sustainable products from BrandsUp will help you make a positive impact while staying stylish and relevant.

#1 Eco-Friendly Apparel – Wear Your Brand with Purpose

Sustainable fashion is on the rise, and eco-friendly branded apparel is the ideal way to showcase your commitment to the planet. From organic cotton T-shirts to recycled blends, these garments reduce waste while offering a premium look and feel. Whether you’re outfitting your sales team, rewarding loyal clients, or promoting at an expo, sustainable clothing ensures you look good while doing good.

Product Pick: Consider pairing men’s organic tees with ladies’ styles like the Okiyo Organic T-Shirt (Ladies) for a cohesive, planet-friendly uniform.

#2 Sustainable Power Banks – Keep Devices Charged, the Green Way

We live in a connected world where a flat battery is not an option. With eco-minded charging gear, your brand stays visible while promoting greener tech choices. Opt for natural finishes or solar assistance to reduce reliance on grid power. For example, the Swiss Cougar Havana Wireless Charging Solar Power Bank (10,000mAh) blends wireless convenience with solar top-ups—great for teams on the move. Prefer a compact desk companion? A bamboo wireless charger desk organiser keeps workspaces tidy and your logo front-and-centre.

#3 Eco Travel Bags & Luggage – Sustainable Style on the Move

Whether for corporate retreats, client gifting, or sales team travel, sustainable travel gear makes a bold branding statement. Durable bags built for frequent use deliver long-term visibility. The Voyager Trek Medium Trolley Duffel offers generous packing space for roadshows and events; for lighter day-to-day activation, recycled totes such as the GRS-Certified Recycled Cotton Tote bring sustainability into every carry.

#4 Recycled Notebooks & Pens – Write with Purpose

For conferences, workshops, and daily office use, move beyond ordinary paper. A standout choice is the MOYU Rock Paper A5 Notebook—waterproof, tear-resistant, and made from recycled stone—paired with an earth-minded pen like the Altitude Eco-Scribe Stylus Ballpoint or the minimalist Eco Stick Pen. For turnkey gifting, a ready-made set such as the Altitude Eco-Logical A5 Notebook & Pen Set keeps branding neat, useful, and memorable.

#5 Plant-Forward Gifting & Reusables – Let Your Message Live On

Practical eco-gifts extend your brand’s life well beyond the moment of unboxing. Lunch and coffee rituals are high-frequency touchpoints: the Okiyo Moshi Glass & Bamboo Lunch Box brings reusability to mealtimes, while the generous Kooshty Big Kahuna Luxe Stainless Steel Vacuum Mug (1.2L) keeps drinks at temp on commutes and site visits. Want a little nature in the mix? Add a sustainable writing piece like the Okiyo Aisuru Bamboo Everlasting Pencil to complete an eco-conscious desk set.
