The Expo Group is passionate about reducing, reusing, and recycling materials and waste. There are several simple things you can do to help as well. Join us by implementing some basic habits to help us keep our beautiful planet green.

Your Booth
  • Order booth services online to reduce use of paper.
  • Rent carpet directly from us to assure you are renting recycled/recyclable carpet.
  • Ask about graphics and signs that can be made from recycled materials, are recyclable and consider using digital graphics.
  • Consider our Perspective Series Rental Exhibits or modular rental systems to assure your booth is recycled and reused.
In Your Booth
  • Use QR Code(s) to send electronic literature to prospects or consider printing locally rather than shipping in paper.
  • Make sure booth lighting uses LED bulbs for reduced energy consumption.
  • Order giveaways responsibly to avoid plastic, toxic materials and useless products that will end up in the hotel room trash.
Shipping Your Booth
  • Make sure that possible recyclable or reusable items are not left behind after the show closes — clean your space before leaving.
  • Ask about caravans and consolidated shipments going to another industry show to save on fuel emissions.
  • Consider the use of shipping containers that are recyclable or reusable.

The Expo Group Joins the Pledge For A Net Zero Carbon Footprint

The Expo Group recently joined industry leaders including PCMA, ESCA and over 250 other partners to join The Pledge for a Net Zero Carbon Footprint Initiative. A wide-ranging network of global events industry players has united to fight climate change with the ultimate goal of eliminating the industry’s greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. A broad collaboration, hosted by the Joint Meetings Industry Council (JMIC) with the support of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), developed the pledge over several months.

In this effort we are committed to:

  • Publish our pathway to achieve net zero by 2050 with an interim target in line with The Paris Agreement’s requirement to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030.
  • Collaborate with partners, suppliers, and customers to drive change across the value chain.
  • Report on progress at a cadence of every two years.
  • Joining an industry workstream group dedicated to defining industry best practices for conservation and reporting.

Initiatives already implemented:

  • Use digital graphics with zero footprint.
  • Utilize reusable/sustainable materials.
  • Streamline processes to minimize waste.
  • Standardize furnishings and prices.
  • Rent vs. purchase exhibits options.
  • Controlled material handling.
  • Reusable registrations kiosks.

Our Packaging Plans include:

  • Minimize shipping where applicable.
  • Rent vs. purchase options for carpet, furnishings and exhibits.
  • GBAC cleaning materials.
  • More efficient models resulting in less waste.

The Expo Group will continue to provide updates on our commitments to meet the industry pledge as we drive toward the NetZero Carbon Commitment.

Let’s work together to minimize waste, recycle, reuse and strive to keep our planet healthy and green.
