Exhibitor Green Practices

As an exhibitor, you play a key role in continuing our g1 practices. We are dedicated to green and look to you to join our g1 efforts while exhibiting here.

During Show Move-in:

  • Use large blue recycle dumpsters on the exhibit floor for gathering cardboard, paper and plastic.
  • Use a local printer for pamphlets, handouts and banners. Reducing transportation needs.
  • Use environmentally-friendly products within your booth –
  • Carpet padding made with 100% recycled synthetic fibers.
  • Recycled booth carpet.
  • Biodegradable and recycled material banners, or EcoFabric banners made with 100% cotton or 100% polyester.
  • Signboards made of 100% recyclable materials printed with soy or vegetable oil based inks such as: BIOflex, Xanita X-Board, or Cloraplast. Avoid foam core.
  • Avoid visqueen. If a protective covering is required within your booth, use a reusable type cover such as sheets or towels.
  • Green-certified cleaning solutions.
  • If touch-up paint is required, use low- or no-volatile organic compounds (VOC) in paints.
  • Use table throws to cover your display tables.

During the Show:

  • Use 2 wastebaskets in your booth. One can for trash and one can - paper, cans, and bottles.
  • Use the large trash receptacles (trash, paper, cans/bottles) in g1 areas located on the show floor for large volumes of trash.
  • Use recycled materials for giveaways. Ie: organic cotton tote bags and lanyards, soy ink pens.
  • Work with our exclusive food service provider, Levy Restaurants, in catering locally grown food products for your booth.
  • Reduce the number of printed brochure given away by offering to send virtual copies of your company’s literature to attendees.
  • Use locally grown seasonal flowers for decorations instead of hot house-forced ones.

During Show Move-out:

  • Use the large blue recycle dumpsters located in the exhibit hall to recycle unwanted product including wood pallets.
  • Donate extra product to local charities or schools instead of shipping back materials. Contact the Show Event Manager for more details.
  • Use starch-based, biodegradable packing peanuts for shipping. They dissolve in water, are non-toxic and can be composted.
  • Use biodegradable cellulose available for shrink-wrapping. Avoid polystyrene, plastic wrapping and bubble wrap.
  • Use biodegradable string (ie: cotton, sisal, jute). Avoid plastic.
