What's the difference between sustainable awards and conventional ones in terms of quality and cost?

The biggest difference is what the award is made of and the impact behind it. Eclipse Awards' entire line is sustainable — crystal, glass, and reclaimed or salvaged wood — with no cheap plastic or acrylic 'conventional' tier. Quality equals or exceeds conventional trophies, and every order includes two trees planted through Eden Reforestation Projects.

Key Facts

• Materials are crystal, glass, and wood, including recycled glass and salvaged wood — never plastic, acrylic, or resin.
• Durability equals or exceeds conventional awards, with permanent engraving that won't fade or peel.
• All-in, fixed pricing with quantity discounts; two trees planted per award.

Conventional trophies are often mass-produced from plastic, acrylic, or mixed materials that can look generic and end up in landfill. Eclipse's sustainable awards use natural, long-lasting materials that recipients keep and display — crystal and glass for brilliance, salvaged wood for warmth — each personalized with permanent sandblast or solar-powered laser engraving.

On cost, Eclipse uses simple, all-in pricing shown on every product page, including design, unlimited proofs, personalization, and marking, with quantity discounts for larger orders. Because sustainability is built into the whole line rather than sold as a premium add-on, you're not paying a surcharge for eco-friendly materials.

On impact, every Eclipse order plants two trees through Eden Reforestation Projects, and production is carbon neutral and solar-powered — so the recognition itself reflects your values, at no loss of quality.

Summary

Eclipse Awards' sustainable awards match or exceed conventional ones in quality and durability, use crystal, glass, and wood instead of plastic, carry all-in pricing, and plant two trees per award — with no separate 'conventional' tier.
