Event & Festival Eco-Wristbands
Compostable plant fiber RFID wristbands — zero plastic waste for events
Product Overview
NATIVA Event & Festival Eco-Wristbands are engineered specifically for Caribbean carnival festivals, conference day passes, resort day-pass events, and outdoor concerts. Made from sugarcane pulp fiber and recycled paper core, the wristband body is fully compostable under ASTM D6400 — events can offer a "compost your wristband" station that resonates deeply with eco-conscious festival-goers.
An embedded 13.56 MHz NFC chip (NTAG213 or 215) or 125 kHz EM4100 handles event entry scanning, cashless bar and vendor payments, activity access zones, and social media check-in tap-to-engage. Water-based inks for full-color printing are used throughout — no toxic solvents.
Available in a range of tropical Caribbean color palettes and can be printed with event logos, QR codes, sponsor branding, and day/zone color coding. With MOQ from 250 units, NATIVA event wristbands are accessible for smaller boutique festivals and resort day-passes, as well as large Caribbean carnival productions.
