Turn recovered event materials into useful new products while giving attendees a simple, hands-on way to participate in the transformation.
This onsite activation brings recovered event textiles, vinyl banners, fabric banners and conference lanyards directly into the attendee experience - showing what these materials can become instead of simply telling people about upcycling.
Choose Your Activation Format
Choose from two activation formats depending on your event:
Choose + Take
Finished products are professionally sewn in advance and displayed at the activation. Attendees select their favourite piece to take with them - making every item a one-of-a-kind event keepsake with its own material story.
Choose + Create
Attendees select from available product styles and recovered materials during the event. Their selections are recorded onsite, then our professional sewing team creates the finished products after the event for delivery.
Possible product options include:
- Zipper pouches
- Tech pouches
- Drawstring bags
- Tote bags
- Small accessories
- Lanyard-based textile products
- Custom products designed for your recovered materials
Both formats create an easy drop-in activation with no sewing or specialized skills required onsite. The experience can be customized around your materials, event format, number of attendees and desired finished products.
Perfect for conferences, corporate events, employee engagement, attendee gifting and sustainability activations.
