We are asking all exhibitors to consider the following guidelines:
Food or sampling packaging should be 100% compostable. Note: There will be recycling facilities thanks to Pacific Mobile Depot for foil wrappers
that come with some samples.
Promotional items may be:
made from recycled materials
recyclable and reusable or biodegradable
non-toxic
minimally packaged or not packaged at all
To make your communications more environmentally friendly consider:
Use electronic forms of communication instead of printed materials
When printing use recycled paper with a minimum of 80% post consumer content. Print on both sides of the paper.
Use environmentally friendly inks.
Avoid excess printing and save on costs
Format materials without specific event information so that leftovers can be used in the future
At the end of the show
Participate in the recycling program
Plan to donate food leftover items and materials to the donations program
Concepts being integrated into the Sidney Health Fair 2010
Everyone involved in the life span of the product is called upon to take up responsibility to reduce its environmental impact. For manufacturers, this includes planning for, and if necessary, paying for the recycling or disposal of the product at the end of its useful life. This may be achieved, in part, by redesigning products to use fewer harmful substances, to be more durable, reusable and recyclable, and to make products from recycled materials. For retailers and consumers, this means taking an active role in ensuring the proper disposal or recycling of an end-of-life product.
A process that has a closed loop, where all outputs are used again as inputs and no waste is created, similar to the way that resources are reused in nature.
Thank you for your support! Your Sidney Health Fair team
