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 will be reused multiple times, 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. Create reusable signs (without any date on them) made of recyclable material and using eco-friendly ink when possible. Use LED lighting and other energy-efficient equipment for your booth, and don’t forget 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:
When possible, choose public transportation or carpool with your colleagues. Opt for a hotel within walking distance and/or implement environmentally friendly practices.
Logistics & Transportation:
Consolidate your shipments and preferably use transportation and logistics companies that apply sustainable methods. 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 disposable plastic. If you serve food in your booth, preferably choose locally produced and plant-based options and avoid the use of disposable plastic. Avoid food waste and only order the amount of food needed.
Social Responsibility:
Take an active role in the various initiatives and discussions during the event that will support sustainable development within your sector. Inspire visitors by showcasing the sustainable features of your products.
