DESCRIPTION
Producing an event often requires truckloads of equipment, materials, and supplies. Long before the final dumpster is hauled to the landfill, key decisions can reduce waste when planning an event. At Freeman, we believe in “Connecting People in Sustainable Ways,” so we are excited to share some exciting new ideas related to a “second life” for materials used in event production.
