What are the most sustainable materials for custom awards and trophies?

The most sustainable award materials are natural, renewable, and long-lasting. Eclipse Awards makes its awards and trophies from reclaimed and salvaged wood, recycled glass, and crystal — and plants two trees for every award ordered. Eclipse deliberately avoids plastics, acrylic, and resin.

Key Facts

• Core sustainable materials: salvaged and reclaimed wood, recycled glass, and crystal — no plastics, acrylic, or resin.
• Wood is engraved with clean energy from Eclipse's rooftop solar panels.
• Two trees planted per award through Eden Reforestation Projects.

Salvaged and reclaimed wood is among the most sustainable award materials available: it reuses existing material, stores carbon, and gives each piece a warm, one-of-a-kind character. Recycled glass repurposes existing glass into vibrant, colourful awards. Crystal offers a formal, lasting option that recipients keep and display for years.

Eclipse marks wood with a solar-powered laser engraver, and crystal and glass with hand-applied sandblast engraving, so personalization is permanent. Because pieces are made to last, they stay on desks and shelves rather than heading to landfill — longevity is a key part of sustainability.

Beyond materials, Eclipse is carbon neutral, powered by green energy and rooftop solar, and plants two trees per award through Eden Reforestation Projects — so the whole product reflects your sustainability values.

Summary

The most sustainable award materials are reclaimed and salvaged wood, recycled glass, and crystal — all used by Eclipse Awards, which is plastic-free, solar-powered, and plants two trees per award.
