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 structure to be reused for multiple events, year after year. Collaborate with your booth builder to make your booth as sustainable as possible! Avoid creating a one-time stand for a single event. Craft reusable signage (without any specific dates) using recyclable materials and environmentally friendly ink when possible. Utilize LED lighting and other energy-efficient equipment for your booth, and remember to turn it off at the end of each day. Try to refrain from using carpeting, and if necessary, opt for reusable carpet tiles. If using regular carpet, ensure it is recyclable and will be recycled.
Travel & Accommodation:
When possible, opt for public transportation or carpooling with your colleagues. Choose a hotel within walking distance and/or implement environmentally friendly practices.
Logistics & Transportation:
Consolidate your shipments and preferably use transportation and logistics companies that implement 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 reduce the use of single-use plastic. If serving food in your booth, preferably choose locally sourced and plant-based options, and avoid the use of single-use plastic. Minimize food waste by ordering only the necessary amount of food.
Social Responsibility:
Take an active role in various initiatives and discussions during the event that will support sustainable development in your sector. Inspire visitors by showcasing the sustainable features of your products.
