As someone that organises or attends multiple meetings, conferences and business events across the year, you are likely no stranger to thinking ‘where does all this waste go? ‘ when you see the endless flip charts, name badges, place holders, paper cups, pens and other convention trappings that gets left behind.

It can be tricky to reduce waste on the cheap while we continue to live in that ironic commercial world where green products cost so much more than non-environmentally friendly meeting supplies.

A good start is to kit out each attendee with environmentally conscious personal identification. If this is the only change you can make, it’s still an excellent gesture and will be remembered, talked about and appreciated.

It could seem like a tiny step but the benefits are quite significant when you consider every attendee requires ID. In some cases you also use place cards for each attendee.

Use green lanyards for your guest IDs – available in all colours. You can certainly supply your guests with environmentally friendly lanyards. Recyclable or recycled lanyards made of P. E. T plastics and plant based dyes are perfect for your socially conscious attendees.

If you use name badge holders use the bio-degradable versions. These are practically revolutionary! We’re so used to plastic holders that we are delirious that biodegradable vinyl holders are available now.

Recycled name badge inserts are a no brainer, you’ve got the lanyard/neck cord, you’ve got the name badge holder, you have to use recycled paper. Easy to find, most companies ought to offer an environmentally friendly option.

There’s a lot to gain from going green the simple and most vital beneficiary is the environment. But the admiration, appreciation and buzz that arises from being environmentally conscious isn’t to be sniffed at. There’s nothing to be said about vain glory but at the end of the day if the environment wins then so do you.
