TURNKEY SUSTAINABILITY: MAKING ECO-FRIENDLY EVENTS EASIER
Event producers facing budget constraints often cut sustainability initiatives first. But new eco-friendly elements are becoming more manageable and cost-effective.
Smart Badge Solutions
The event industry is revolutionizing the traditional badge system with innovative options:
- SmartBadges that can be refurbished and reused
- Biodegradable and seed-filled paper badges
- Recycled lanyards
- All-in-one recycling solutions
Some events are even going completely badge-less, using phone scanning or recyclable wristbands for identification.
Tackling Major Waste Contributors
Event flooring and signage waste is being addressed through:
- Carpet recovery and recycling programs that convert waste into fuel
- Partnerships with organizations like Habitat for Humanity for direct upcycling
- Transformation of vinyl signs into merchandise
Water Conservation Innovation
Events are embracing sustainable hydration through:
- Smart reusable water bottles with impact-tracking capabilities
- Self-service water carafes instead of pre-poured beverages
At Proscenium, we are committed to being as sustainable as possible. We go beyond “reuse, reduce, recycle” to ensure our events are as earth-friendly as possible. Several of our clients do multiple shows a year, and we often look for ways to reduce waste by sharing resources among the different events.
