Ever wondered about the secret life of your seemingly innocent name tag? Yes, we're talking about those name badges, plastic holders, and lanyards with metal or acrylic clips you've proudly sported at events. Well, buckle up, because we're about to spill the tea on these not-so-green accessories and introduce you to the superhero of sustainability: Terra Tags.

The Not-So-Green Reality of Name Badges

Did you know that a whopping half of all plastics ever manufactured were produced in the last 15 years, with a forecast to double by 2050? 🤯 (National Geographic). That's a mountain of plastic, and guess what? Those lanyard name badges and their acrylic cousins are part of this plastic parade.

About 8 million tons of plastic waste find their way into our oceans every year. That's like dumping five garbage bags full of trash on every foot of coastline around the globe (National Geographic). And those plastic and acrylic name badges? They're contributing to this aquatic assault, threatening our marine life and the health of our oceans.

The Lanyard and Holder Havoc

And let's not overlook the lanyards and plastic clips and holders. Crafted from synthetic materials, these accessories are not exactly giving Mother Nature a high five. Quite the opposite. The environmental and economic impacts of event waste, including these seemingly minor items, are far from minor, with excessive waste jeopardising the future of events and, more broadly, our planet (EventIMPACTS).

Terra Tags to the Rescue!

Picture this: a name badge that's not only stylish and unique but also kind to our planet. Made from recycled or seed-infused paper and 100% eco-friendly materials, Terra Tags are here to completely change the way we think about event accessories.

As a master papermaker with a flair for the creative, I've designed Terra Tags to be a statement piece that says, "Hey, I care about the Earth, and I'm not afraid to show it!"
