Cheap can koozies and cheap bottle koozies are quite popular nowadays amongst people to distribute as gifts as well as giveaways in parties and other social gatherings. Companies are beginning to use cheap can koozies as inexpensive promotional materials. Political campaigns have started to make use of koozies as campaigning message carriers. With the result that there are lots and lots of koozies in the hands of people. Plus being cheap by nature, people usually discard their old koozies and replace them with new ones every so often.

This brings up the point of what do you do with your old koozies. You can simply throw it away in your garbage. But remember, since koozies are generally made of neoprene or open cell foam, these materials do not generally degrade quickly, making it a landfill issue for years to come. Hence before you throw your old koozies away, consider ways to recycle them. Here is an example of how large companies could encourage recycling of koozies by their workers. Ask that all of their employees bring their old koozies to the receiving department and throw it all in a bin. The shipping department could make use of these old koozies as packing material. Since koozies are generally pliable and have a cushion-like feel, they form an excellent packing material.

By so doing, the company achieves two goals. First of all the company would have acted more responsibly from an environmental stand point. Secondly, the company could save on buying packing materials and thus the bottom line profitability could go up. If your company does not currently do this, you might want to bring this to the attention of upper management and may be they will give you a bonus for a good idea!
