Sustainable Practices by Shimmerwalls: Making a Positive Impact with Reusable Decor

At Shimmerwalls, we’re dedicated to creating stunning, eye-catching displays that make a statement while making an effort to be sustainable. One of our sustainable practices is supporting charities with reusable decor to offering our customers incentives to recycle to reduce waste and give back to the community. Here’s more on how Shimmerwalls is embracing sustainability and making sure our shimmer panels continue to make a positive impact long after their first use.

Lending Shimmer Panels for Charities and Community Projects
We understand that charities, schools, and community groups often have limited budgets but still want impactful, memorable decor for their events. That’s why Shimmerwalls proudly offers complimentary panel lending to eligible non-profits. Through this initiative, charitable organizations can create the high-impact look they desire without investing in single-use decor. This program allows charities to borrow Shimmerwalls panels for their events at no cost, paying only for shipping, in exchange for photos of the panels in use.
​
One example is the University of St. Andrews Fashion Show, an annual event with proceeds going to charitable causes. Using Shimmerwalls’ panels, the event achieved a stunning, high-end ambiance that set the stage perfectly for their fashion-forward displays. The panels were returned in great condition, allowing us to reuse them for future charitable events. This cycle of lending and returning supports sustainable practices by keeping decor in use rather than creating waste.

Customer Recycling Program for Shimmer Panels
In addition to our charitable lending program, we encourage sustainability among our customers with a Recycling Program. This initiative lets customers send back panels they no longer use, and in return, they receive a voucher for up to 20% off their next purchase with Shimmerwalls. By recycling panels, our customers can avoid storage waste and feel good knowing their panels will continue to bring value to others through our charitable lending program.
​
To participate, customers need only return a minimum of 50 panels in good condition. Once we receive and inspect them, a discount voucher is issued for their next order. These panels aren’t resold; instead, they’re specifically designated for our charitable lending program, ensuring they continue to make an impact in non-profit and community projects. This way, every panel returned by our customers finds a new purpose, enhancing events for organizations that may not have access to premium decor otherwise.
