Conference
Name, organisation, and a scan target. The default for stacked sessions.
Sustainability
Sustainable event badges — hire, wear, return.
Reusable e-ink badges cut paper inserts, misprints, and plastic wallets from event week. Hire the kit for your dates; we programme faces in Cleckheaton and take the hardware back on a prepaid label.
Single-use inserts do not match repeat events.
Every conference or chapter morning generates paper waste — wrong prints included. Delegates feel the disposability; organisers pay for stock they throw away.
Badges marketed as sustainable still fail if they need a fresh print run every time the delegate list changes.
Digital faces, physical hardware that comes back.
Hire reuses the same bezels event to event. Faces refresh in software; the device returns when you are done. Compare the full picture on our e-ink vs printed badges page.
Buy pricing keeps hardware with you when you run weekly meetings — year one of the platform is included, then £30 per month per account.
Honest scope
We are a UK hire desk, not a certification body. The sustainability win is fewer inserts in the bin and no onsite printer — measure your own event waste before and after if you need numbers for a report.

FAQ
Sustainable event badges — common questions
How are hire badges more sustainable than paper?
The same bezels return after each event. Faces refresh digitally instead of printing inserts that go in the bin.
Do you provide carbon certificates?
No — we are a hire desk, not a certification body. Measure your own waste reduction if you need report numbers.
Can I hire instead of buying for a green policy?
Yes — hire returns hardware when you do not need year-round ownership.
What about lanyard and wallet waste?
You still supply lanyards or clips. The win is fewer paper inserts and misprints.
Are the devices rechargeable?
Yes — USB-C charge before the event. See the battery guide for multi-day planning.
