Events Post Covid-19
The event industry has been hit hard in the UK & around the world since the outbreak of Covid-19 and government lockdowns impacting companies’ ability to earn money.
From, theatre events, sporting events, to business conferences. All events had to be stopped abruptly. This in turn impacted audio & visual equipment suppliers negatively because they could not hire out AV equipment.
Hopefully, moving forward with the recent relaxation of rules and event bookings picking up momentum the industry can get back on its feet.
Sustainability
In the past events have been guilty of generating unnecessary waste. Post Covid-19 is an opportunity to improve our sustainability and waste reduction.
For instance, at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics organisers expected to reuse or recycle 99 per cent of all the items and goods procured, and to reuse or recycle 65 per cent of all waste.
By hiring equipment rather than buying it, Tokyo 2020 has further reduced the manufacturing of goods and waste. Some 65,000 computers, tablets and other IT and consumer appliances, as well as 19,000 office desks, chairs and other fixtures, will be used and then passed on.
This demonstrates how hiring equipment such as projector, lcd screens, laptops etc can improve sustainability at small & large events.

The Birmingham 2022 commonwealth games could learn lessons from Tokyo on how to reduce their waste consumption through the hiring of equipment and how the circular economy can aid sustainable development.
