Offering environmentally responsible exhibitions production will impress your meeting clients, and save you waste and costs.
- Create signage that can be reused in future events.
- Provide ‘reuse’ collection bins for delegate name tags.
- Ask conference organizers to inform exhibitors about on-site environmental efforts. Get them involved by asking them to:
- Print their collateral materials on recycled paper stock, using vegetable-based inks;
- Bring only what they need to the event, and take away what they don’t hand out;
- Have their draws support the BlueGreen theme. Suggest they give away only durable, reusable items; and
- Promote their own environmental initiatives.
- Provide on site recycling for paper products, pop cans and other recyclable materials that are generated.
- Find reuse opportunities for decorations and display materials. These items may be in demand by local schools or charitable organizations.
- Train clean-up crews to sort out recyclable and reusable items from the garbage.
- Use recycled material for display booths; reuse the material for future exhibitions.
- If food is involved, see the BlueGreen Food & Beverage page.
- Green your facility operations. See the BlueGreen Meeting/Event Venues page for information.

At its 2002 annual conference held in New Delhi last April, the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) reduced paper waste by replacing a literature distribution service with a special marketing display area for members who want to exhibit their literature. All publications left at the end of the conference were recycled. |
