Second life lanyards
Our program to keep single-use lanyards out of landfill

We collect old event lanyards and give them a second life—unbranded pieces join our rental pool, hardware from branded lanyards becomes part of our upcycled line, and all excess fabric is recycled or repurposed.

The best part is, we’ll take them at no cost to you aside from you handling shipping to our Indianapolis address!

Scrap conference lanyards for Earthlight reuse and recycle program
We’d been storing old event lanyards for years with no good alternative to tossing them. It was great to know there was a sustainable alternative with Earthlight, and one that in turn supports their small business’ great programs.

at your company or event

We’d love to help collect your lanyards—any amount, any time! We offer floor-standing collection boxes that can be co-branded with your logo, or we can work with you to customize another setup.

The lanyard line-up - your old lanyards help us make one-of-a-kind rental options out of salvaged materials.
