The Future of Event Merch: Circular, Sustainable, Unstoppable

At New Age Promotions, we aspire to reduce branded merchandise waste and contribute to a circular economy where materials are responsibly recycled and reused after business events.

Partnering with trusted recycling experts across Australia and New Zealand, we ensure transparent and traceable textile recovery that supports local industries and communities.

With a bold vision to eliminate event merchandise waste, we are driving change through innovation. By transforming waste into valuable, circular resources, we’re redefining the future of sustainability using on-shore solutions.

From convenient collection models to state-of-the-art sorting processes, we can divert tons of waste annually, converting it into materials that find new life in the furnishing, construction, and homeware industries.

Partner with us to build a sustainable future where nothing goes to waste!


How do you bring this concept to life at your events?

Once hardware is removed from the lanyards, your items will be securely shredded and converted into unidentifiable materials, ready for repurposing into sustainable products.

Closing the Loop on Event Merchandise Waste

Take our lanyards made from recycled plastic bottles (RPET) as an example. These eco-friendly lanyards are a sustainable choice for events, showcasing your commitment to the environment.

Circular Event Merch in Our Four Step Process

1. Supply

We provide lanyards crafted from RPET material which is made from recycled plastic bottles. These offer a practical solution that supports recycling efforts from the start.

2. Collect

After the event, lanyards are collected using our convenient and seamless collection bins at the exit points of the exhibition.

3. Sort

The lanyards are carefully sorted to ensure they are ready for recycling. Any metal attachments are removed and sent to specialised partners for metal recycling.

4. Recycle

The RPET material, originally made from recycled bottles, is shredded into fibres and transformed into new products, gaining a second life in industries such as furnishing, construction, and homewares.
