This month was #plasticfreejuly and Honeycomb Strategies dedicated its time to diving deep into what it means for people, businesses, and events to eliminate their plastic use to become more sustainable.

Today we’re talking about upcycled art, and why you should include it in your next event.

Upcycled displays are fun, eco-conscious activations that add buzz to your event while also diverting waste from the landfill. Events can be extremely wasteful, generating more waste per participant than the average person’s daily discards. On the other hand, art displays add beauty and meaning to your event while sparking conversation and giving you some good marketing.

Here are five reasons why upcycled art adds value to your event.

With everyone from oil companies to hedge funds to clothing brands talking about “sustainability” it gets pretty hard to parse exactly what it means. Here at Honeycomb Strategies, we think about sustainability in terms of negative climate and resource impact, but also in terms of positive human and communal impact and reliable frameworks for organizations.
