So much can be done with recycled plastics these days. Take the Ecospun Recycled Lanyard from Marco. It’s as soft and pliable as any other lanyard, but it’s made out of recycled soda and water bottles, and it comes in dozens of colors and can be branded with your logo. The swivel J-hook
on the three-eighths-inch or three-quarters-inch lanyard can hold a badge, an ID card, or a set of keys. Pop these lanyards on attendees or special-event guests, and show them the Green.

 Metal isn’t usually the first choice when it comes to choosing exhibit drapery or dividers. But Cascade Coil Drapery Inc.’s woven wire-mesh fabric might change that mindset. The supple wire mesh can be customized in varying sizes and unlimited colors to fit any exhibit. The material can be used
as a divider, a curtain, or as a backdrop; it can even be used to hold lightweight products for display purposes. The metal-tone finishes on the fireproof panels won’t fade or darken. This sinuous screen can add texture, depth, and color to your exhibit space.
