EXHIBITORS
AS AN EXHIBITOR , YOU CAN MAKE AN IMPACT AT THE KEHE HOLIDAY SHOW :
DIGITAL REVOLUTION Use QR codes in your booth instead of printed materials . When you must print , choose post-consumer recycled paper stock , print double-sided , and avoid glossy , metallic , or other coatings that would keep the paper from being recyclable . Bonus points for FSC or SFI certified !
SIGNS OF THE TIMES Steer clear of non-recyclable banners , table covers , and signage . Ditch the vinyl and foam core . Opt for recyclable paperboard and cardboard options . If you must use vinyl , choose a PVC-free option .
IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL Be evergreen in the design of your signage and other materials , so they can be used again show after show . Choose durable , reusable signage that will last for multiple years .
BUILD YOUR BOOTH BETTER Building out your booth ? Choose more environmentally-friendly cabinets , shelves , and flooring made from sustainable materials and that are low or no VOC . Light your booth with LEDs . Choose Energy-Star rated appliances to keep perishables cool at your booth . Ask your exhibit contractor what eco-friendly options they offer and encourage them to offer more green solutions .
PACK IT IN , PACK IT OUT Create reusable shipping crates for your booth exhibit . Choose biodegradable packing peanuts and kraft or newsprint packing paper . Eliminate plastic packing materials such as bubble wrap and polystyrene peanuts .
SAMPLING AT THE SHOW ? Please no plastic ! Best practice : Use certified compostable service ware made from materials such as paper , bamboo , and PLA . Next best option : service ware made from recycled materials . DID YOU KNOW ? Even if made from recyclable materials , most sampling-size service ware is too small to make it through municipal recycling systems .
