Exhibitor tips
Dear exhibitors: join our green team and take action for the future! If you are an exhibitor at Trendz, you play a vital role in helping to create a sustainable event.
Here are some useful tips to make your participation more sustainable:
Choose a reusable all-in booth model from the organizer or design your own booth so it can be reused multiple times. Work with your booth builder to make your booth as sustainable as possible! Avoid creating a disposable booth for one event….
Create reusable signage (no date) from recyclable materials and with eco-friendly ink if possible.
Use LED lighting and other energy-efficient equipment for your booth and remember to turn it off at the end of the day.
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 recycled.
When possible, opt for public transportation or carpool with your colleagues.
Choose a hotel within walking distance and/or with eco-friendly standards.
Consolidate your shipments and prefer to use transportation and logistics companies with sustainable practices.
Prefer local suppliers to support the local economy and reduce transportation.
Prefer suppliers with sustainable and responsible principles.
Bring your own reusable water bottle to use at our water fountains and help us reduce the use of disposable plastic.
If you serve food at your booth, preferably choose locally produced and plant-based options and avoid using disposable plastic.
Avoid food waste and order only the amount needed.
Actively participate in the various initiatives and discussions during the event that support the sustainable development of your sector.
Inspire visitors by showing the sustainable features of your products.
