Sustainability Built Into Every Event

 Sustainability isn’t an add-on—it’s part of how we design our products and deliver our services. Our event technology helps organisers reduce waste, improve operational efficiency and create smarter event experiences through digital processes, reusable hardware and responsible badge production. Whether you’re organising a meeting for 100 delegates or an international exhibition, we’re committed to helping you reduce environmental impact while delivering exceptional events.

Noodle Live sustainability manifesto

Noodle Live was founded in 2012 on the idea that event professionals should be able to gather great data at their events to demonstrate their success, prove their impact and compete with other marketing channels for a fair cut of the marketing budget. More so than that though, Clemi Hardie, Noodle Live’s founder as well as an avid surfer and nature lover, determined from the beginning that the solution should operate as environmentally ethically and sustainably as possible. Aside from using the tool itself to reduce waste by onsite printing, here are some of the ways we’re working to have a positive impact for people and planet. This is our Noodle Live Sustainability Manifesto:

Our ethos

We are a team of passionate event professionals from multiple cultures, countries, and sectors. We are 100% home working to minimise our operational footprint and maximise our tech expertise delivering low carbon, event tech services using the most environmentally friendly materials and processes available. We truly care about what we do and how we do it – taking full responsibility for the impact of our business and its ability to have a positive impact both socially and environmentally.

Becoming a regenerative business

We aspire to be a truly regenerative business – one that improves and enhances the ecosystems and communities where we work. To us, being regenerative means – Operating and making decisions for the good of all – from our customers to our partners and the communities within which they live and do business The way we manage and develop our people creating healthy, innovative environments within which they can thrive The way we collaborate with our customers and partners to deliver cutting edge events in carbon friendly ways How we evolve and innovate our products and services, so we ensure we are always using the latest technologies and most environmentally friendly materials and production processes, having a positive impact from cradle to grave

Global Partners, Local Impact

Our Journey to Net Zero

Reducing the Impact of Our Data Storage

Looking at Waste Responsibly

Recycled and Recyclable Materials

local impact

Global partners, local impact

Delivering successful events often requires hardware, consumables and onsite support. To reduce the environmental impact of every deployment, we work
with carefully selected global partners that operate local warehouses and regional
support teams.

With access to more than 60 locations worldwide, we can source equipment closer to your event venue, helping to reduce long-distance shipping, minimise unnecessary travel and ensure your equipment arrives on time

We’ve also collaborated with our logistics partners to optimise how equipment is packed and transported. By using reusable transport cases, efficient packaging and recyclable materials wherever possible, we reduce shipping volume, minimise waste and improve the sustainability of every event we support.

Our journey to

Our journey to net zero

We are taking our environmental impact seriously and as such are working with Planet Mark to measure, manage and offset the carbon footprint of our operations and events.

We have now completed our business certification with them and are working on a tangible plan to take us to Net Zero carbon emissions. This will include us looking at our scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon emissions and identifying Gold Star offset partners in the countries where we deliver events most frequently so we can become carbon neutral and then carbon negative.

Reducing the impact of our data storage

As part of our research into reducing our overall environmental impact, we identified that we needed to factor in the energy used to store all of the awesome data collected using the Noodle Live platform. We looked at the efficiency of our data storage solutions to ensure they’re as energy-efficient as possible. We opted for cloud storage provider AWS, who run large-scale facilities that are able to provide world-class storage with specialist equipment, cooling systems and facility design to increase efficiency and decrease waste. In fact, AWS claims that storing data with them results in an average 84% reduction in the amount of power used. AWS have also committed to moving towards 100% renewable energy supply by 2025 (90% in 2022).

Data storage that gets maximum use from its hardware

As well as looking at the operating energy used to power each data center, we also took a look at the impact of the hardware that is being used. Hardware is made using a variety of materials, and some of them have a very high environmental impact. AWS opt to purchase high-end hardware, have introduced efficiencies to extend the life of hardware components and have programmes in place to repurpose rather than discard infrastructure once newer items have been purchased. That way, the hardware has a much longer use life than at other data storage facilities.

Looking at waste responsibly

Aiming for reusability recycle where that’s not possible We embed our RFID chips into name badges, so that delegates can tap their badge to instantly perform a function, such as registering, checking in for a session or swapping contact details with an exhibitor. Understanding how to reduce the impact of these event name badges and the lanyards that hold them is key to our sustainability pledge. We’re starting by increasing reusability and then looking at recycling for those items that have reached their end of life. If #EventProfs are running several events per year, we’ll always suggest using company-specific branding on the lanyards instead of event-specific branding. This ensures that the lanyards can easily be re-used and used again and again.

Reducing the impact of the materials used to make our badges and lanyards

We partner with our suppliers to deliver sustainable production solutions through recycled and circular materials. Our eco-friendly range features lanyards made from recycled plastic bottles—perfect for reuse with generic branding—and chlorine-free Eco Pulper badges (standard and RFID) sourced from sustainable wood pulp that are fully recyclable after chip removal. Additionally, our recycled PVC badges are produced on carbon-neutral presses. We are also excited to expand our lineup with sustainable bamboo RFID wristbands and credit-card-sized badges.

Promoting post-event recycling of pvc badges & lanyards

As part of our service to clients, we offer a recycling scheme for event consumables. We have a specialised partner who offers a recycling service for event name badges and lanyards. All consumables and packaging are collected, sorted and separated by material composition. The separated items are then cleaned, shredded, and made into new recycled products such as outdoor furniture and decking, playgrounds, benches, or watering cans. Clients who are interested in taking part in this recycling scheme can ask us for further details.

Reducing paper waste

We are committed to minimizing our environmental footprint by modernizing event technology. By replacing paper-heavy processes with our RFID-enabled badges and wristbands, we drastically reduce waste at conferences and exhibitions. Our digital solutions empower exhibitors to share documentation instantly via email and allow delegates to exchange contact information with a simple tap, eliminating the need for printed collateral and business cards. Let’s create a more sustainable event experience together—contact us to learn more about our eco-friendly registration systems.
