Responsible production
Practical choices that reduce waste and improve efficiency
Sustainability at Pinpops® is about making practical choices that reduce waste and improve efficiency without slowing production. We focus on responsible materials, efficient workflows, and production methods that hold up at scale.
Across our production network, we’ve reduced energy use through upgrades like modern LED lighting and more efficient facility layouts. Maximizing daylight in workspaces lowers electricity demand and creates a better working environment — simple changes with real impact.
We prioritize equipment and processes that minimize setup waste and material loss, helping us keep both environmental impact and turnaround times under control.
Large windows in our production spaces maximize natural light and reduce daytime energy use
Our printing methods are selected with efficiency in mind. Modern presses reduce excess material use, and we favor techniques that produce consistent results with minimal waste.
For example, much of our sublimation printing uses water-based, Oeko-Tex® certified inks. These inks are non-toxic and meet recognized safety standards, making them suitable for products worn close to the body.
We also continue expanding the use of recycled and responsibly sourced materials, including RPET options, where they meet our quality and durability standards. Sustainability, for us, only works if the product performs exactly as promised.
Oeko-Tex® certified, non-toxic inks support safe and responsible production
We actively expand the use of responsibly sourced and recycled materials where they meet our performance standards. One example is the shift from conventional polyester lanyards to RPET lanyards made from recycled plastic bottles. At the volumes we operate — supplying large quantities for events and organizations — material choices make a measurable difference.
We also support recycling beyond production. Used badges and select disposable event items can be returned for proper material recycling, helping reduce waste after events conclude. Sustainability only works at scale when the entire lifecycle is considered.
