EXHIBITORS
HERE ARE SOME PRACTICAL TIPS ON HOW TO MAKE YOUR PARTICIPATION MORE SUSTAINABLE:
STAND DESIGN & WASTE:
Choose a reusable booth package from the organizer or design your own booth so that the structure can be reused multiple times, year after year. Work with your booth builder to make your booth as sustainable as possible! Avoid creating a single-use booth just for one event.
Create reusable signage (without any date on it) made of recyclable materials and with eco-friendly ink whenever possible.
Use LED lighting and other energy-efficient equipment for your booth, and remember to turn it off at the end of the day.
Try not to use carpeting, and if you really need it, preferably choose reusable carpet tiles. If you use regular carpet, make sure it is recyclable and will be recycled.
TRAVEL & ACCOMMODATION
Whenever possible, choose public transportation or carpool with your colleagues.
Select a hotel within walking distance and/or implement environmentally friendly practices.
SHIPPING & LOGISTICS:
Consolidate your shipments and preferably use transportation and logistics companies that employ sustainable practices.
Support local suppliers to boost the local economy and reduce transportation.
Favor suppliers with environmental and social credentials.
FOOD & FOOD WASTE
Bring your own reusable water bottle and use our water stations to help us reduce the use of single-use plastics.
If you serve food in your booth, preferably choose locally sourced and plant-based options, and avoid the use of single-use plastics.
Minimize food waste and order only the amount of food that is needed.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY:
Take an active role in the various initiatives and discussions during the event that will support sustainable development within your industry.
Inspire visitors by showcasing the sustainable features of your products.
