The events’ industry has the power to create unforgettable moments—those that bring people together, forge deep connections, and build shared memories. Whether it’s large conferences and trade shows or intimate gatherings and cultural performances, every event is an opportunity to inspire and transform.

Yet behind every impressive setup, every meticulously designed booth, and every meaningful interaction lies an environmental impact we simply cannot ignore. What if, along with being memorable, these events could also be sustainable? What if they could make a difference not only in the lives of participants, but also for the planet?

Events leave invisible footprints that we can feel: tons of waste, carbon emissions, and an environmental impact demanding urgent change. Sustainability in fairs, congresses, and events is the next big leap for an industry that drives emotions, connections, and now, real change—with Circular Events, Revivack’s bet to create truly circular events.

The environmental impact of events: alarming data

The traditional event model operates on a linear basis: use and dispose. This generates a significant environmental impact:

Mountains of waste. According to Event Industry News, an average event generates between 1 and 2 kg of waste per attendee per day. Larger festivals can produce up to 2,000 tonnes of waste.  According to MeetGreen, each conference attendee produces approximately 1.89 kg of waste per day, of which 1.16 kg ends up in landfill. And the UK events sector produces approximately 100,000 tonnes of waste and emits 1.2 billion kg of CO2 per year. 

Short-lived materials. Temporary carpets and decorations, which are ubiquitous at trade fairs and exhibitions, end up in landfill after only a few hours of use. The Spanish Federation of Recovery and Recycling (FER) reports that approximately 890,244 tonnes of textile waste are generated in Spain every year, of which a significant part corresponds to carpets and rugs used in events and other sectors. 

High carbon emissions. Between transport, lighting, energy consumption, food, etc., it is estimated that events generate 10% of global CO2 emissions.

 

Circular Events or how to make events truly circular

At Revivack, we believe that sustainability in events is both possible and essential. That’s why we’ve created Circular Events—a system that connects manufacturers, organisers, and managers to complete the cycle of resources used in every event.

With our blockchain-based technology, we ensure transparency, efficiency, and tangible benefits for everyone involved. After all..

You simply can’t organise an event without first planning the recovery of materials that would otherwise be discarded.

 

Circular Events: a transformative solution

Facing the sustainability challenges in events, the circular economy offers a clear, viable path forward. This model reimagines events so that resources stay in use for as long as possible, cutting down on both waste and emissions. So, how do we make it happen?

     Circularity guaranteed

Imagine as an event manager telling your attendees, “This event is sustainable,” and being able to prove it. With every product carrying an R-Code, you know it’s fully integrated into the circular process.

Wouldn’t you prefer to work with suppliers who deliver sustainable solutions, minimize waste, and ensure complete transparency? If you’re ready for circular events, Revivack’s solution makes it simple and effective.

     Material return routes

Consider a scenario where, as a producer of items like carpets, structures, or furniture, you can set up simple, individual return routes for recovering materials at the end of their life. Alternatively, you can adopt existing routes created by others. In both cases, these pathways ensure that your products are collected and managed efficiently.

This proactive approach not only differentiates you, but also adds tremendous value for your customers.

Of course, the products need to be designed for recoverability—and that’s where we come in.

 

     Orderly collection and transparency

Imagine that, as a waste manager, you can gather large amounts of material in an organized, 100% usable state, ready for transformation into raw material. 

And what if you could guarantee that the entire process is transparent and verifiable?

Our blockchain-based traceability does just that: a simple scan of the R-Code confirms every step of the process and validates your contribution. Would you like more details?

Benefits of a sustainable model for events

Have you ever considered the benefits that circular events can bring? For companys, for the environment, and for attendees alike… We’re here to share them with you!

Economic benefits

• New Business Opportunities: Companies that adopt circular practices in their events can tap into new markets and forge valuable partnerships, particularly with brands that prioritize sustainability.
• Legal Compliance: With European regulations increasingly favoring circularity and enhancing producer responsibility, staying ahead of the curve is essential.

Reputational benefits

• Attracting Customers and Partners: Today’s audience is more conscious than ever, and they appreciate being part of initiatives that actively reduce waste in a simple and transparent way. This approach can set event organizers and companies apart.
• Industry Leadership: Being at the forefront of circular events not only reinforces your brand’s innovative image but also demonstrates a strong commitment to the future of our planet.

Benefits for attendees

• Stronger Emotional Connections: Attendees value events that align with their values and show a genuine commitment to sustainability, which in turn builds loyalty towards the organizing brands.
• More Meaningful Experiences: Incorporating sustainability into an event’s narrative creates transformative and memorable moments that truly resonate with the audience.
