Eco-Friendly Products for Your Next Event

When planning an event with an eco-friendly mindset, choosing sustainable products is not only beneficial for the environment but also puts forth a positive image for your company and the event. Choosing sustainable alternatives minimizes the event’s carbon footprint and fosters a culture of environmental responsibility.
​
Eco-friendly events are not only popular, they are required by some companies who are trying to reduce their carbon footprint.

Here are the top 5 products to consider when planning your next event:
1. Biodegradable utensils and tableware
2. Compostable decorations
3. Reusable banners and signage
4. Recycled paper products
5. Eco-friendly cleaning supplies

Biodegradable utensils and tableware are typically made from materials such as bamboo, agave, or cornstarch and are a great alternative to single use plastic. They decompose naturally and reduce the plastic waste that is produced by most events.
Compostable decorations such as banners and signs can be made from recycled materials or natural fibers. Most reusable signs are durable and can be reused for many events. Consider signs that can be utilized at multiple events to help further reduce waste and keep items out of the landfills.

Recycled paper products can be used for invitations, programs and other promotional materials to help conserve natural resources and reduce energy consumption with production. You may also want to consider using QR Codes with links to timelines to help in reducing waste.

Finally, incorporating eco-friendly cleaning supplies or employing an eco-friendly cleaning company ensures that the post-event cleanup is as environmentally friendly as possible. Look for products that minimize the introduction of harmful chemicals into our ecosystems while promoting a healthier environment for your attendees and staff.
