4. Use digital tickets.
BENEFITS EXAMPLE
5. Keep the distribution list of printed materials up to date to avoid unnecessary mailing.

BENEFITS EXAMPLE
7. Adopt a plan for the collection and reuse of fittings/furniture used during the event.
8. Make agreements with non-profit organisations for the reuse of fittings/furniture.
9. Purchase textiles (for T-shirts or uniforms) if necessary, with eco-labels such as Ecolabel, Global Organic Textile Standard, Ekomark, Canopystyle, Bluesign and other equivalents.
10. Avoid gadgets, if necessary, then only buy gadgets with low environmental impact (from recycling and/or recyclable), non-disposable and useful.
The printing of posters and flyers for the promotion of the event is equivalent to 12.8kg of paper. Not printing posters and flyers leads to a benefit of 6,758 litres of water 117kWh of energy consumption and 24.9kg of CO2.
Printing 400 tickets equals 1.2kg of paper: not printing the tickets results in a benefit of 528 litres of water, 9.1 kWh of energy consumption and 1.9kg of CO2.
Setting up spaces for an indoor event with materials from recycled plastic, assuming the weight of these plastic materials is 200kg (0.5 kg per spectator) would lead to a benefit of 307kg CO2
