Kawaiicon 2025 Seed-Paper Badge note

biosecurity and recycling caveat · official source · documented

The official page asks attendees who are not based in New Zealand to hand over the seed-paper badge at merch-desk recycling boxes.

The catalogue preserves the badge's material lifecycle and avoids treating a plantable local artifact as universally exportable swag.

identity-artifact classification · official source · documented

The official Kawaiicon badge page proves a physical conference badge made from seed paper but does not support electronic hardware, firmware, display, RF, or CTF claims for the credential.

The record keeps the Kawaiicon badge as a material identity artifact rather than upgrading it into a PCB badge without evidence.
