Launch of Harrison Eco™ product range and recycling initiative

Newton Aycliffe-based Harrison Flagpoles has launched a new Harrison Eco™ range of products and services as part of its sustainable growth strategy.

The flag, flagpole and display manufacturer’s eco-friendly range comprises a suite of sustainable products including the Harrison Eco Flag™, Eco Banner, Eco Heras Mesh, Eco Display Fabric and Bravura Display Range.

Harrison Flagpoles was a pioneer of the Harrison Eco Flag™, first introducing the product to the market in 2018. Harrison Eco Flag™ is printed using 100 per cent recycled material made from recycled plastic waste including single-use PET plastic bottles. On average there are 29 recycled plastic bottles in every Harrison Eco Flag™ the business prints.

All Harrison Eco™ products are free from PVC – one of the most environmentally damaging plastics – and are fully recyclable.

The business has expanded and trademarked its Harrison Eco™ range to become a leading manufacturer of eco-friendly display and signage products. The move will allow Harrison Flagpoles to meet rising demand from businesses and charities across the country placing a greater focus on their environmental impact.

Anthony Leonard, sales and marketing director at Harrison Flagpoles, said: “Sustainability is a crucial consideration for businesses and charities, with many proactively implementing policies to reduce their impact on the environment.

“Improving the sustainability of the products they specify and procure is one of the ways businesses can achieve this. That is why we have created an extensive range of eco-friendly products, which allow businesses to move away from products made from virgin polyester and PVC to more sustainable alternatives.

“The launch of our Harrison Eco™ range is a key part of our sustainable growth strategy and we’re looking forward to announcing more details on how we’ll be further enhancing the sustainability of our operations soon.”

In addition to its Harrison Eco™ range, the business has launched a UK-first fabric upcycling scheme. The scheme enables clients to return unused flags to the business, which upcycles the material to create new products such as shopping bags, tote bags and even dog toys, which the business donates to dog re-homing charity FLOOF.

Founded in 1987, Harrison Flagpoles operates nationally and internationally from its headquarters and manufacturing facility in Newton Aycliffe. The company serves the construction, housebuilder, automotive, retail, hospitality, leisure, charity and public sectors.
