Why We Partner With BrandCharger

When we recommend a BrandCharger product to a client, we're not just passing along a catalogue item — we're vouching for a manufacturer whose sustainability claims hold up to scrutiny. BrandCharger is one of our principal suppliers for tech accessories, drinkware, and bags, and their track record is a useful example of what "certified sustainability" looks like in practice, rather than as a marketing phrase.

A Track Record Backed by Independent Recognition

Founded in 2011 with operations spanning Hong Kong and the Netherlands, BrandCharger has built its reputation over 14 years around one core idea: transforming waste into value by repurposing post-consumer and post-industrial materials into functional, branded products. That approach has been recognised externally, not just claimed internally — the company has earned 47 industry awards to date, including six honours at the HKASD International Sustainable Design Awards 2025 (ISDA 2025), three of which were Global Grand Awards, the competition's highest honour, judged against entries from more than 20 countries.

Product Examples Worth Knowing

A few specific products illustrate the range of what "sustainable" can mean in practice for corporate gifting:

  • Picasso 2 Eco — an inkless pen and stylus made from recycled aluminium, using a graphite tip instead of ink cartridges. Won an HKSDA 2025 gold award.
  • Vortex Calix Ceramica Eco — a tumbler crafted from recycled stainless steel with a ceramic interior coating. Won an HKSDA 2025 bronze award.
  • Hauler — a totepack made from recycled nylon, part of the Urban Vibe collection.
  • Thor — a 65W, 4-in-1 digital charging cable built with sustainability as a core design constraint rather than an add-on.

What This Means for Corporate Buyers

For a company sourcing gifts against an ESG policy, working with suppliers who can point to independently judged awards — rather than self-issued claims — makes the sourcing decision easier to document and defend internally. It's the same principle we've written about in our guides on RPET vs virgin plastic and eco-friendly vs ESG-compliant materials: specifics matter more than general "green" language.
