Driving Innovation in Material Lifecycle

At Spectrum Live, we are committed to fostering a sustainable future by minimizing our environmental impact. One of the pivotal ways we achieve this is by promoting the reuse of printing materials throughout our operations. This directive outlines our approach to sustainable printing practices, emphasizing the importance of reusing materials and reducing waste.

Objectives

⦁ Reduce Waste: We lower the amount of printing & branding materials disposed of by implementing reuse strategies. We also help standardise branding sizes & ratios to maximise sheet & roll usage.
⦁ Conserve Resources: Minimize the use of new resources by maximizing the use of existing printing & branding materials.
⦁ Enhance Awareness: Encourage all employees and stakeholders to participate in sustainable printing & branding practices.

Key Initiatives

⦁ Material Inventory: Maintain a centralized inventory of all event printing materials, including rigid materials, large format fabric, supporting sub-structures and metals
⦁ Double-Sided Printing: Promote the use of double-sided printing wherever possible or re-coating rigid panel faces.
⦁ Reuse Protocols:
⦁ Scrap material Utilization: Wherever possible scrap materials are reused in future sub-structures. These materials are also used in workshop builds and office maintenance. Even small scrap materials are used for training in our internal training academy.
⦁ Recyclable Materials: We have a policy for collecting and reusing any recyclable materials first off and secondly to accredited recycling plants.
⦁ Digital Alternatives: Spectrum has already shifted to digital documentation whenever possible and use tools and platforms that facilitate paperless communication and file sharing.
⦁ Training and Awareness Campaigns: Our academy regularly runs training sessions and informational resources to educate employees / sub-contractors about the importance and practices of reusing materials.
⦁ OnceWas initiative. We offer the re-purposing of event branding into tote bags & heavy duty duffle bags which can also be a source of return income for any event. We have 5 carefully designed bags to maximise material use. Our team can help you market these back to your visitors, sponsors or the organiser can donate these to less privileged clubs, schools or otherwise. Ask us more at ⦁ hello@spectrum-live.co.uk
