For the production of event material, we:
- Used waste material from the organising MTU Media Comms Dep for attendee badges
- Chose a specific custom format for the attendee badges to minimise paper waste and maximise value for material
- Design the branding specifically to minimise ink use in printing (for increased recyclability after use) and to minimise energy use in digital display (dark screen)
- Went out of our way to eliminate unnecessary paper coatings/laminations of print material to increase recyclability of printed material
- Reduced the amount of printed material to a minimum through deliberate planning of posters and signage that needed to be created while utilising already available/discarded materials from various departments and sources
We also:
- encouraged sustainable travel options (public transport) to attendees.
- Did our best to respect dietary and accessibility demands of attendees.
- Were mindful of our use of technology and resources throughout planning and execution as best as possible
