TIPS FOR OUR EXHIBITORS

Become part of our green team and take action for the future!

When you exhibit at a trade fair, you play a key role in shaping a sustainable event. Here are a few practical tips on how to participate more sustainably:

  • Choose a reusable booth package from the organizer or design your own booth so that the structure will be reused several times, year after year.
  • Work with your booth builder to make your booth as durable as possible!
  • Avoid creating a one-off outfit just for one event.
  • Try not to use carpet, 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 and whenever possible, choose public transport or carpool with your colleagues.
  • Choose a hotel within walking distance and/or apply eco-friendly accommodation methods.
  • Consolidate your shipments and preferably use transport and logistics companies that apply sustainable practices
  • Favor local suppliers to support the local economy and reduce transport
  • 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 produced and plant-based options and avoid using single-use plastic.
  • Avoid food waste and only order the amount of food needed.
  • Take an active role in the 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.
