10 SUSTAINABLE ACTIONS
Incorporate circular economy principles into one of your stand materials.
Use one or two materials in your stand construction sourced from the circular economy, such as a wall made of wine bottles, reused fabrics, cans, boxes, etc
Example: Video
Reduced plastic in promotional items.
Minimize the use of plastics in promotional materials, like bags with plastic finishes, stress balls, keychains, lighters, etc.
Examples of eco-friendly promotional items:
Use eco-friendly ceramics, glassware, or disposables for food tastings at the stand.
Utilize disposable materials made from substances such as avocado seed, sugarcane, bamboo, cornstarch, cardboard, etc.
Example:
Opt for generic signage without mentioning the year for reusability in other events.
Generalize the information on banners and avoid including the year or edition.
Get creative! Consider eco-friendly materials, LED digital banners, and more!
Avoid business cards and printed brochures
Don't ask for Business Cards! Use the Emperia app to scan and save contacts paperlessly.
Utilize digital business cards, use QR codes to download brochures and promotional materials.
Utilize LED lighting at the stand.
Install LED lights or energy-saving bulbs at the stand.
