The setup represents between 14% and 17% of the carbon footprint of events, behind visitor travel and hospitality. (Source: Event Data Book 2020).
CTN has incorporated the reduction of the carbon footprint of events into its CSR policy and its offerings. 87% of the CTN range is recyclable and 85% of products are sourced in Europe.

Take a look at our product catalogue and our many options for floor, wall and ceiling coverings, and you'll see that many solutions have been developed over many years of expertise to help you meet the environmental challenges of your professional events.

The benefits of a responsible approach are numerous and appreciable. This approach enhances the image and reputation of both the company and the service provider responsible for organising the event. Involving the teams in charge of the event can also bring them together and give greater meaning to their work. Working in a sustainable way is also an opportunity to optimise methods, cut costs, reduce waste and so on. In short, to make savings.

Since events are generally synonymous with the ephemeral, whether your service lasts a few hours, a few days or a few weeks, your involvement in improving performance and sustainability tends to meet the growing demand for committed solutions.

Trade show stands, fairs, exhibitions... ephemeral decoration is often a feature of the events sector. In the interests of sustainable development, CTN offers you the opportunity to choose floor, wall and ceiling coverings that are recyclable and easy to install. Traditionally, a stand is designed for one-off use. To avoid generating too much waste, choose durable, solid materials that can be reused or recycled. Carpets, PVC floor coverings , textiles/fabrics, etc. - you'll find many references for sustainable materials in our product catalogue.

RECEPTIONS AND STAGE SETS THAT COMBINE DESIGN AND DURABILITY

While an exceptional event requires exceptional decoration, the fact remains that events can generate waste. For a more responsible approach, whether you need made-to-measure curtains for an auditorium, a stage or a theatre, sheer fabric for a suspended ceiling, Lycra for chair covers, table seats or to dress a stage, all our fabrics are recyclable. You'll be able to combine an attractive welcome with elegant eco-design décor.

CTN RECYCLAGE, A RESPONSIBLE APPROACH FOR A SUSTAINABLE EVENT

CTN's catalogue includes a wide range of recyclable products, with 27% of our 2,000 products being recyclable. Thanks to CTN Recyclage, you can return the event products we supply. All you have to do is sort the products (fabrics, carpets, etc.) and place them in Big Bags, delivered by CTN. These bags can either be collected by CTN or brought directly by you to our warehouse. The products will then be recycled for use in insulation panels. The process for Rewind® carpet is the same, with one difference: the carpet must be placed in cages, also supplied by CTN, rather than in bags.

Rewind® carpet is first granulated and then transformed into PP plastic objects. At the end of the recycling process, CTN issues a recovery certificate to each of its customers. Recycled brushed cotton and carpets can be given a new lease of life...

In conclusion, CTN provides solutions for professionals who increasingly need to respond to the demand to put the environment at the heart of their events. Whatever your decorating projects, we've been providing advice and expertise for over 40 years. Don't hesitate to contact our teams to find out more or get a quote.
