Minimize packaging materials. Use environmentally responsible materials such as recyclable, biodegradable, or reuse.

Limit materials and collateral by:

• Bring only what is anticipated for attendees
• Offer to send material upon request
• Offer to give information as PDA downloads
• Avoid dated material

If you have give-a-ways, focus on those that are useful and made of responsible materials. Give-a-ways should never be made from endangered or threatened species or materials.

Use electronic scanners to gain attendee information instead of paper forms.

Print all materials on post consumer content paper using soy or vegetable inks.

Reuse signs and banners and produce on recycled materials or donate.

Use local vendors when possible to reduce transportation impact and contribute to local economy.

Incorporate renewable materials such as bamboo into booth design and use LED or energy efficient lighting.

Publish exhibit kit online.

Include facility recycling information in exhibitor kit. Educate and encourage exhibitors to participate in recycling programs.

Ask the General Services Contractor to use environmentally friendly booth and carpet options as well as recycling bins as basic booth set.

Require facilities to reduce lighting and HVAC during move-in/move-out.

Encourage the use of marshalling yards for shipping companies and ask that idling time restrictions be enforced to improve air quality.

Donate left over materials and supplies at the end of the show. Create space on the show floor for recyclable materials to be dropped off.

Create "Green Exhibitor" incentive and recognition programs.
