Sustainability in Gifting: The Game-Changing Trend for 2025 Events

Sustainability has emerged as one of the top gifting trends of 2025, reshaping the events industry in powerful ways. From guests seeking "Wow, not Waste" to brands prioritizing eco-conscious partnerships, sustainable practices are now a core element of event planning.

But while large-scale sustainability initiatives like carbon offsets and green venues get the spotlight, small yet impactful changes are often overlooked—like the simple switch from plastic water bottles.

The Hidden Environmental Toll of Corporate Events

Each year, millions of plastic bottles end up in landfills and oceans, harming wildlife and ecosystems. To put this into perspective:

  • The U.S. alone hosts more than 2 million meetings annually, with over 251 million participants.

  • Each event, big or small, typically provides plastic water bottles—many of which aren’t even recycled.

  • Now imagine the impact globally—countless corporate events, conferences, and trade shows, all contributing to an overwhelming amount of plastic waste.

The numbers are staggering, and the solution is simple: eliminate plastic bottles while enhancing the attendee experience.
