Sustainability is an important topic at Classic Exhibits and to our industry. However, to many folks, if given the choice between reading a report about “green” exhibit practices or getting a root canal without Novocain, they would choose root canal every time.
It’s not that they disagree with sustainable practices. They agree. They simply want clarity and the tools to communicate sustainable guidelines to their clients and colleagues.
For those who would rather skip the dental surgery option (which should be everyone), we would encourage you to read Sustainability Guidance for Exhibition Stand Construction, a report compiled by EDPA and ESCA. The report contains 13 recommendations on Sustainable Practices for the event and trade show industry.
In addition to the report, EDPA and ESCA are currently working on a sustainable checklist, and Glenn Hansen and Reduce2 will be conducting a Carbon Footprint Measurement at this year’s EDPA ACCESS Conference.
There’s more to come, including sustainable promotional materials which you’ll be able to share with your clients. The exhibit industry has made progress, but there’s a lot more to be done.
