A Useful Guide to Eco-Friendly Trophies

Reducing the environmental impact of the events industry is a complex topic.

Environmentally friendly merchandise, green waste management, sustainable catering – the opportunities to bolster the eco-friendly credentials of an event seem endless, and it’s difficult to know where to start.

What does it all mean, and how much of a difference does it really make?

At Gaudio, our sustainability goals aim to make an impact on your event, whether large or small. We’ve been developing eco-friendly awards for many years, exploring new materials and methods as they become available.

When it comes to creating sustainable custom trophies, the Gaudio team provide the expert support you’ve come to expect from us. Your Account Manager will guide you through every stage of design, order, and manufacture.

The ordering process is the same, and we work with brands and agencies to ensure there’s no compromise on design.

This brief guide will explain our materials, manufacturing, and packaging options for sustainable, eco-friendly, and recycled bespoke awards.

What is a sustainable alternative to trophies?

Reducing the environmental impact of the events industry is a complex topic.

By employing cutting-edge technologies like 3D printing and laser cutting, we can craft sophisticated and significant trophies using recycled materials. This inventive method distinguishes our trophies from conventional awards.

What are eco-friendly trophies made from and what do they look like?

There are lots of sustainable materials we use every day at Gaudio that are responsibly sourced, recycled or sustainable. We do our best to reduce impact where we can, as well as source interesting and alternative options for contemporary custom awards.

So, what materials do we use, and why are they suitable for green awards? There are three main materials we utilise every day at Gaudio:

Aluminium

It’s approximated that almost 75% of the 1.5 billion tonnes of aluminium ever produced is still in use. Aluminium can be recycled more than once, and over 30 million tonnes is recycled globally every year. (Source: International Aluminium Institute)

Aluminium offers a premium finish for silver trophies, with a polished or brushed surface and lots of personalisation options.

Wood

We endeavour to source wooden components from responsible suppliers. Our suppliers consider renewability and make conscious efforts to reduce raw material waste and conserve energy. Custom wooden trophies have a premium finish, with organic grain and textures offering an natural look.

Recycled Acrylic

Acrylic is something we use regularly – it provides bespoke awards with bold colours, and can be laser cut with precision for complex shapes. Utilising recycled acrylic means we can offer a large selection of colours and the same bespoke manufacture with a lessened impact.

Blank

When you order a blank trophy, it will arrive without any personalised details. The trophy is blank for you to add your own personalisation, or use as a decorative piece.

Engraved

Engraving etches your design into the surface of the trophy.

Printed

Print is colour-matched. Based on variations in computer and screen settings, and manufacturing tolerances, colours may appear differently to what you see on screen.

Personalise Online

Select your layout using the dropdown menu, then enter your details. The live proof shows you an approximate visual of how your trophy will look when it’s engraved. Once you’ve added the details you want and purchased your trophy, we’ll begin manufacture right away.

Please note: The live render is an estimate of how your trophy will look, and the final result may vary in size, colour and placement.

Gaudio Proofing Service

With the Gaudio Proofing Service, simply add your chosen trophy to your cart and checkout as normal. A member of the team will be in touch to collect the required details, and we’ll send you proofs to approve before manufacture. Delivery time excludes proofing.
