Sustainability in our world isn’t about greenwashing—it’s about intentional design, efficient production, and responsible execution.
Here’s how we’re making a difference:
1. Smarter Materials
We prioritize the use of FSC-certified wood, low-VOC paints, recyclable foam, and eco-conscious substrateswhenever possible. These materials reduce off-gassing, minimize environmental harm, and still meet the structural and aesthetic standards needed for high-impact scenic builds.
2. In-House Waste Reduction
With CNC routers, laser cutters, and foam carvers in our Los Angeles shop, we optimize every cut to reduce scrap. We reuse offcuts for smaller components or prototyping, and we recycle metal, cardboard, and foam through verified local programs. Leftover scenic elements are salvaged and stored for future repurposing when possible.
3. Reusability & Modular Design
Not every scenic piece needs to be single-use. Our design team works with clients to create modular, re-skinnable scenic builds that can be adapted for multiple events or rebranded between activations. This drastically cuts down on fabrication waste and gives brands more flexibility across campaigns.
4. Responsible Installation & Strike
Our install crews don’t just build and leave. We handle strike and breakdown with care—salvaging usable materials and ensuring that disposal is done properly. Nothing goes in a dumpster without a second thought. If clients don’t have storage space, we offer solutions for holding or repurposing scenic pieces long-term.
5. Sustainable Logistics
Because we travel frequently to Las Vegas, Texas, Arizona, Florida, and beyond, we take logistics seriously. We consolidate freight, optimize load-ins, and schedule intelligently to reduce fuel use and emissions. Local partnerships and regional warehousing also help minimize unnecessary cross-country shipping.
Why It Matters
Sustainability isn’t a limitation—it’s an opportunity to build smarter, more efficiently, and more creatively. Clients are becoming increasingly conscious of the environmental impact of their events and productions. Agencies, brands, and studios alike are seeking partners who align with their values and offer solutions—not just services.
By embedding sustainability into our workflows, we help clients reduce their footprint while delivering the same high-quality, visually striking builds we’re known for.
What You Can Do as a Client
- Ask about reusable design options
- Consider eco-friendly material upgrades
- Request modular or multi-use builds
- Plan ahead to avoid last-minute waste
When sustainability is part of the conversation from the start, we can make meaningful progress together.
