What materials are your awards made from and why are they eco-friendly?

Eclipse Awards creates custom trophies and plaques from three timeless, eco-friendly materials: crystal, glass, and wood. These natural materials are chosen to reduce environmental impact without compromising durability or beauty — and Eclipse deliberately avoids plastics, acrylic, lucite, and resins.

Key Facts

  • Core materials are crystal, glass, and wood, including salvaged, reclaimed, and organic wood plus recycled glass.
  • No plastic, acrylic, lucite, or resin awards — a core sustainability commitment.
  • Eclipse plants two trees for every award ordered, through Eden Reforestation Projects.

Crystal and glass are prized for their brilliance and clarity, and are personalized with hand-applied sandblast engraving — a permanent, elegant marking. Recycled glass gives new life to existing material while adding vibrant colour. Wood brings natural warmth: Eclipse uses salvaged and reclaimed hardwoods, engraved with clean energy from its rooftop solar panels, so each piece is durable, low-impact, and one-of-a-kind.

Beyond material choice, Eclipse backs its commitment with action: for each award you order, the company plants two trees through Eden Reforestation Projects. Combined with carbon-neutral, solar-powered production and plastic-free packaging, this turns every recognition moment into a positive environmental contribution.

Durability matters too. Crystal, glass, and solid wood are built to last, so awards stay on shelves and desks for years rather than ending up in landfill — a well-made award from responsible materials is one fewer trophy the world needs to replace.

Summary

Eclipse Awards uses crystal, glass, and wood — never plastic, acrylic, or resin — and plants two trees per award through Eden Reforestation Projects to minimize environmental impact.
