Every event produces waste. From unused wristbands and lanyards to overprinted passes and reissued credentials, the pile adds up quickly. Not only does this harm the planet, it eats into budgets.
The truth is that many of these costs are avoidable. With smarter access control, you can cut waste, save money, and support sustainability goals without sacrificing security.
Reduce Event Waste
Do you know how many wristbands, passes, or lanyards go unused at your event?
Each one represents waste — both environmental and financial. Overordering is common because organisers need to be safe rather than sorry. But what if you could control access dynamically, instead of printing stock just in case
Digital Control
Smart access puts you in control at the moment it matters.
Instead of relying on overbands, reprints, or visual checks, scanning technology allows you to grant, revoke, or update access instantly. A lost wristband does not mean issuing a new one. A last-minute crew change does not mean reprinting a laminate. The digital record updates immediately, and the system stays secure.
Handling High Volumes of Casual Staff
Large events often depend on hundreds of casual or day staff. Printing and distributing passes for every shift is both time-consuming and wasteful.
With Access93, staff can be issued a QR code alongside their wristband, scanned on arrival to verify induction and confirm access by day and zone. This creates a digital trail for every worker without the need for printed passes.
✔ Verified induction
✔ Day-specific and zone-specific access
✔ Digital tracking of who entered and when
This keeps the event safe, efficient, and far less wasteful.
Smarter Access. Greener Events
Smart access is not only about security and efficiency — it is also about sustainability.
Access93 supports recycled and eco-friendly stock options for events that still require physical credentials. Every saved wristband, every avoided reprint, and every digital check-in is a win for the planet.
The Takeaway
Event waste is not inevitable. By adopting digital-first scanning and smarter access control, organisers can reduce environmental impact, cut unnecessary costs, and strengthen security.
