Geneva's circular lanyard programme

Give every lanyard a second life

Every Geneva event generates hundreds of lanyards bound for landfill. LémanLoop closes that loop — collecting, grading, and returning them to a shared circular economy.

How it works

1
Organiser registers
Pay a CHF 2/lanyard deposit when creating your event on LémanLoop.
2
Volunteers collect
At the venue exit, volunteers collect, grade (A/B/C), and GPS check-in.
3
Grade and route
Grade A/B lanyards are cleaned and returned to the shared lanyard library.
4
Recycle Grade C
Damaged or heavily soiled lanyards go to certified upcycling partners.
5
Refund and certificate
Organiser receives the deposit refund and a verified impact certificate.

The deposit-and-return model

Tailored to Geneva's dense international event calendar — Palexpo, CICG, Maison de la Paix, and beyond.

Deposit per lanyard

Organisers pay CHF 2/lanyard. Refunded when returned in Grade A or B condition.

Grade and route

A = reuse as-is, B = clean then reuse, C = upcycle or material recycle. Nothing goes to landfill.

Lanyard library

Borrow from our shared inventory of clean, brand-neutral lanyards. No new manufacturing needed.

Impact certificate

Verified CO₂ savings, lanyard counts, and reuse cycles — ready for your CSR report.
