Our Three Purposeful Pathways
Every organization has different sustainability goals, engagement priorities, and resource diversion aspirations. That's why every Conference Lanyard Circular Program™ is designed around purposeful pathways that reflect these needs. Whether you're creating a permanent corporate installation, known as a legacy lanyard installation, engaging employees through a hands-on workshop, or supporting youth in the community, every recovered conference lanyard contributes to event materials upcycling, continuing to create value long after your event concludes.
Legacy Lanyard Installations™
We offer comprehensive circular event solutions that focus on sustainability, including event materials upcycling and innovative legacy lanyard installations to reduce waste and enhance your event experience.
Transform your conference into a permanent corporate legacy.
Some conferences deserve to leave more than just memories.
Legacy Lanyard Installations™ transform your organization's conference lanyards into unique woven artwork tailored specifically for your workplace. This process is part of our commitment to circular event solutions, ensuring that event materials are upcycled into something meaningful.
Every installation is custom designed to celebrate the people, milestones, and shared experiences that made your event significant. Unlike traditional artwork, each piece is crafted using the very lanyards that connected your attendees, creating a permanent visual reminder of your organization's story.
The Legacy Weave Experience
One of the most memorable moments occurs before the artwork is completed. Throughout your conference, attendees are invited to weave a small section of the installation—an experience that takes just about one minute.
One person.
One weave.
One lasting contribution.
After the event, MB Designs professionally finishes the remaining weaving, completes the installation, and prepares it for permanent display.

Youth Lanyard Art Kits
We offer comprehensive circular event solutions that focus on sustainability, including event materials upcycling and innovative legacy lanyard installations to reduce waste and enhance your event experience.
Extending your impact beyond the conference.
Every conference generates a different number of recovered lanyards. Instead of letting these event materials sit in storage, they are transformed through Youth Lanyard Art Kits as part of our commitment to circular event solutions. These ready-to-use creative kits, assembled by MB Designs, are distributed through schools, community organizations, and youth programs. Here, children create their own woven artwork while learning about creativity, collaboration, and circular thinking. It's a simple yet impactful way for conference materials to continue making a positive impact long after the event concludes, contributing to legacy lanyard installations in the community.

• Youth organizations
• Community centres

Conference Lanyard Recycling Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We work with conference organizers, corporations, associations, venues, and hotels across Canada. Leftover conference lanyards can be boxed up and shipped directly to MB Designs Inc. in Ontario, allowing us to manage your event waste diversion completely remote.
We ensure materials are rigorously sorted to maximize diversion. Before the fabric lanyard straps are prepared for our youth art kits, our team manually separates all metal clips and plastic breakaways. These hardware components are sorted by material stream and sent to specialized Canadian recycling partners to be processed back into manufacturing loops.
Separating materials allows us to maximize the circular potential of each component based on its material properties. The durable textile straps are ideally suited for creative transformation, whether we are weaving them into custom corporate office art installations or packing them into interactive employee upcycling kits. Because the metal clips and plastic attachments do not fit these specific textile fabrication processes, sorting and routing them into specialized hardware recycling streams allows us to achieve complete landfill diversion for the physical lanyards collected.
No. Whether you have a small handful of lanyards from a boutique corporate retreat or tens of thousands of pieces from a national convention, we are happy to help. Every circular journey starts with a single step, and we make it easy for organizations of any size to participate.
Yes, we accept all types of conference lanyards. Our intake process is designed to handle mixed-material waste streams. Whether your lanyards have bulldog clips, swivel hooks, or plastic safety releases, our team manages the entire separation, upcycling, and recycling workload for you.
Yes. Every lanyard upcycling project includes project-specific impact documentation outlining the number of lanyards collected, total weight diverted from landfills, and the measurable community outcomes created through your project. This data can easily be added to your corporate ESG reports.
