Organising sustainable events: a new standard in the events industry
Sustainability is now a core value in the events sector. More and more companies and organisers choose to run a sustainable event, where the focus lies on reducing the impact on people and the environment. One way to do this is to use sustainable awards made from recycled materials that we give a second life when handing out prizes.
Thanks to Upstream Trophies, it becomes effortless to make this eco friendly alternative part of your award ceremony. Our trophies are made from carefully selected reused materials, so they not only make a statement but also have a positive impact. Examples of materials we use include materials from reused fridges, records and packaging, which shows that recycling can turn almost anything into something new. By choosing our sustainable products you contribute to a better world, without compromising on design.
Sustainable awards you can use for different kinds of sustainable events
Our sustainable awards can be used for many different kinds of events. Here are some examples of where you will find them.
Music prizes with a statement on circularity
Music prizes are often the highlight of the year for artists and fans. By choosing more sustainable prizes, you show that your event looks beyond simply celebrating talent. With custom awards, every wish such as colour and shape can be applied, so you can create your own trophy that fits the event. The materials used can be materials that were first part of old music products, such as old records. This makes the message of the trophy even stronger. Our trophies are special trophies designed with an eye for detail and circularity, so they become a lasting reminder for recipients and audience alike.

Employee anniversaries: recognition with impact
Celebrating employee anniversaries offers a chance to show appreciation in a way that adds to a sustainable image. Our custom-made awards are perfect for marking these moments, because they can be fully personalised into a design that fits the company and the employee. They are not only a decorative addition, but also a symbol of the sustainable choices made within your company. Employee Awards: A Custom Trophy for a Colleague’s Work Anniversary
Corporate trophies where brand and environment are in balance
For corporate events it is important that the prizes both strengthen the brand and carry an eco friendly message. By choosing our environmentally conscious products, you combine aesthetics with sustainable organising. The trophies can be personalised into a prize that fits the company, which makes for a personal award that also tells a sustainable story. One example is the Net-Zero Industries Award
