Recycled posters – Help your customers share the when and where with a Christmas poster. Made from recycled paper, our recycled posters will allow them to share all the important details without compromising on quality or the impact on the environment

We recommend our leaflet styles for shorter menus, simply choose a size and fold type to suit. You can also make use of our lamination options to help protect your customer’s print from spills.

Eco-chic Decorations

There are plenty of ways to decorate without damaging the environment! Be it cutting up old print to make paper chains or giving decorations a lick of paint, there’s always a way to breathe new life into older decorations, it’s all about feeling inspired. For centrepieces and table décor why not make use of what’s on your doorstep? Forage some festive plants, flowers, pinecones, or berries!

Plant Based Buffet

Offering up a more plant-based buffet at your Christmas party is a great way to cut your carbon footprint. You can also help cut down by shopping or sourcing local ingredients and produce, this way you’re avoiding air-flown emissions and it’s a great way to support small businesses!

Make sure you encourage guests to take home any leftovers too. Avoid good food making its way into the bin by sending it home with party go-ers or, donating it to charities and food banks.

Don’t forget to opt for reusable cutlery, cups, and plates as well! Often, disposable utensils and dining essentials make for a lot of waste, avoid them ending up in landfill by choosing reusable instead.

Transport to the Venue

Make getting to the venue easy for your guests and easier on the environment by arranging travel. Modern coaches are more environmentally friendly as they carry more people around on less CO2 emissions compared to if each guest was to use a personal mode of transport. Reduce your carbon emissions this Christmas by travelling together! Not to mention it’s often easier and cheaper.
