Sustainable Event Badges & Lanyards:
Terra Tag Press & News
500 years in landfill?
Or wildflowers in bloom?
That’s the choice behind EVERY conference event name badge.
We’re Queensland State Finalists in the 2025 Telstra Best of Business Awards | Promoting Sustainability 🎉 (yep, we’re just as excited as you think).
Why Telstra thinks we’re onto something:
Traditional plastic badges + lanyards = 500 years in landfill.
Ours? Handmade seed paper + biodegradable lanyards = wildflowers or herbs in your garden.
Every order comes with a CO₂ savings calculation (hello Scope 3 regulatory reporting 👋).
Example: 600-person event = 72 kg CO₂ saved (that’s like driving Brisbane → Sydney and back).
Fact Sheet (For the time-poor journo)
The problem in a nutshell
Conference event name badges and lanyards usually hang around in landfill for up to 500 years. Ours don’t.
