Let’s Go Green Together! Be a Sustainable Exhibitor at ICS
We’re committed to creating a greener exhibition experience. Here are some ways you, as an exhibitor, can join us in minimising your environmental impact:
Reduce, Reuse, Rethink Your Stand:
Invest in Reusables: A custom, reusable pod made from sustainable materials is a long-term investment that saves on waste and money.
Embrace Multi-Use Design: Opt for modular displays that can be reconfigured for different events. Consider timeless graphics that avoid referencing specific dates.
Ditch the Throwaways: Skip single-use items like tablecloths and carpet. Explore fabric alternatives or rent furniture.
Think Quality over Quantity: Offer fewer, high-quality promotional items made from recycled or organic materials.
Get Digital: Ditch printed brochures for digital ones accessible through QR codes or a landing page.
Plan for Giveaways: If giveaways are essential, consider seed packets, reusable water bottles, or items made from recycled content.
Travel and Logistics:
Use Public Transport: Whenever possible, opt for eco-friendly transportation like trains or buses to reach the venue.
Consolidate Shipping Items: Combine shipments whenever possible to reduce packaging waste and transportation emissions.
Favour Local Suppliers: Support the local economy and minimise your carbon footprint by choosing local vendors for stand materials and services.
Energy Efficiency:
LED the Way: Use LED lights throughout your stand for bright, energy-saving illumination.
Power Down When Unattended: Unplug electronics and switch off lights when your stand is closed.
Consider Eco-Friendly Options: If offering product demos, explore solar-powered charging stations or low-energy devices.
Responsible Waste Management:
Pack Light: Only bring what you need. Utilise reusable containers for transporting stand materials.
Recycle and Compost: Work with the venue to understand their waste management system and segregate your waste accordingly.
Donate or Repurpose: Consider donating leftover promotional items or repurposing stand elements for future use.
Be Resource Efficient:
Bring a Water Bottle: Refill a reusable water bottle throughout the event to eliminate single use plastic.
Avoid Single Use Plastic: Don’t make use of plastic plates, cutlery and cups. Opt for reusable alternatives.
Let’s Work Together!
