In today’s world, sustainability is more than just a buzzword; it’s a necessity.
From individuals to businesses, everyone is looking for ways to reduce their environmental footprint. The event rental industry is no exception. With large-scale events generating significant waste, it’s clear that adopting sustainable practices can make a real difference. At Marquee Tech, we believe in making eco-friendly event management a reality through innovative digital tools that reduce paper waste while improving efficiency.
If you’re in the rental or event industry and want to learn how you can go green while boosting your bottom line, this blog post is for you.
Think about all the paper traditionally used in the event rental industry:
According to a study by Two Sides, the average office worker uses 10,000 sheets of paper annually. In the fast-paced events industry, where quick changes and last-minute adjustments are common, this number can skyrocket. Unfortunately, much of this paper ends up in the bin shortly after use.
In the UK alone, approximately 12.5 million tonnes of paper and cardboard are used annually, much of which is unnecessary waste. For businesses, this isn’t just bad for the planet; it’s also costly.
At Marquee Tech, we’re dedicated to transforming how event rental companies operate. By replacing outdated paper-based processes with our digital tools, you can not only reduce waste but also simplify your operations. Here’s how our features help achieve this:
Managing schedules digitally eliminates the need for printed rotas and schedules. Updates can be shared in real-time with your team, ensuring everyone is on the same page—without printing a single sheet.
Forget stacks of printed checklists for loading and picking rental items. Our digital solution ensures you can track inventory efficiently, whether you’re in the warehouse or on-site.
Printed delivery and collection notes are a thing of the past. Our tools allow you to upload, edit, and share these documents digitally. Capture customer and staff signatures electronically, upload images for documentation, and access everything from any device.
Instead of printing maps and directions for deliveries, our integration with Google Maps provides drivers with instant access to routes via their devices. This not only reduces waste but also improves logistics.
From attaching photos to adding notes, all your job documents can be handled digitally. This minimises the need for physical paperwork and ensures every detail is easily accessible and securely stored.
By transitioning to digital tools, businesses in the event rental industry can reap significant environmental benefits:
Paper production contributes heavily to deforestation, which impacts biodiversity and contributes to climate change. According to the WWF, about 42% of harvested wood globally is used to make paper. By going digital, your company can help reduce demand for paper, supporting efforts to preserve forests.
The lifecycle of paper—from production to disposal—generates a significant amount of greenhouse gases. A report by the Environmental Paper Network found that the paper industry is the fourth-largest contributor to greenhouse gas emissions globally. Adopting digital tools eliminates the need for paper, reducing your company’s carbon footprint.
With digital tools, there’s no need to print documents that are used once and thrown away. This minimises waste and reduces the burden on recycling facilities, many of which are overwhelmed by paper waste.
Producing paper requires vast amounts of energy, including electricity and water. By cutting out paper, your business indirectly supports energy conservation and reduces water pollution caused by paper manufacturing.
Going digital doesn’t just benefit the environment; it also has tangible advantages for your business:
Printing, storing, and managing paper documents come with costs that add up over time. With digital tools, you can significantly cut these expenses. For example, the cost of ink, printers, and paper can be redirected toward growth-oriented investments.
Digital systems centralise your documents, making it easier to find what you need when you need it. No more searching through piles of paper for a missing delivery note!
In the event rental industry, plans change frequently. Digital tools allow you to update schedules, checklists, and notes in real time, ensuring your team has the most accurate information.
Digital documents are cleaner, easier to read, and more professional-looking than hand-written or printed ones. This can improve your image with clients and partners.
As your business grows, paper-based systems can become unmanageable. Digital tools scale effortlessly, allowing you to handle more jobs without increasing your workload.
At Marquee Tech, our tools are designed to integrate seamlessly into your workflow. Here’s how our features align with sustainability goals:
