La durabilité à l'IAAPA Expo Asia

L'IAAPA étant l'hôte de nos expositions, nous pensons que nous devons montrer l'exemple en intégrant la durabilité dans nos pratiques commerciales. Voici les mesures de durabilité prises lors de l'exposition de cette année :

• Education session handouts are only available electronically.
• Education sessions surveys are administered digitally.
• Stories from the trade show floor are now produced real-time in a video format and shared on social media, reducing the need for paper and resulting in 0% carbon emissions by eliminating the need for trucks to deliver printed materials.
• Exhibitor material is distributed electronically.
• Show guide is not printed and attendees and exhibitors are encouraged to use the website and app.
• Minimizing printed signage whenever possible.
• Badges designed so no additional badge holder is required. Tickets are coupled with badges instead of printed.
• Lanyards and badges are collected at the end of the expo and recycled using TerraCycle.
• Show bag quantity produced is limited to 50% of expected attendance and designed for reuse.
• Providing a Nursing Mother’s Room.

L'IAAPA s'est associée à des entreprises qui soutiennent ses initiatives en matière de développement durable. Voici quelques-uns des principaux fournisseurs et leurs efforts en matière de développement durable lors de l'exposition de cette année.

Dorier

1. Sustainable Materials & Eco-Friendly Practices
   • Reusable/Rentable AV Equipment: Partnering with Dorier, we’ll prioritize energy-efficient LED screens, modular staging, and reusable cabling to minimize single-use materials.
   • Digital Signage: Reduce paper waste with dynamic digital displays (powered by renewable energy where possible).
   • Eco-Conscious Branding: Use recyclable or biodegradable materials for banners, badges, and signage (e.g., FSC-certified paper, bamboo, or fabric).
2. Waste Reduction & Recycling
   • Zero-Waste Zones: Implement clearly labeled recycling stations (e-waste, plastics, compost) and collaborate with venue partners to track waste diversion.
   • Post-Event Material Recovery: Donate usable materials (e.g., furniture, decor) to local organizations and ensure proper e-waste recycling for AV gear.
   • Food Waste Management: Work with caterers to minimize leftovers and compost organic waste.
3. Carbon Footprint Reduction
   • Energy Efficiency: Dorier’s ISO 14001-certified AV solutions will optimize power usage (e.g., low-energy lighting, smart load management).
   • Sustainable Logistics: Prioritize local suppliers and electric/hybrid transport for equipment. Offset unavoidable emissions through verified carbon credits (aligned with MCI’s Net Zero Carbon Events pledge).
   • Digital Hybrid Options: Offer virtual attendance components to reduce travel-related emissions.

Our Assurance
All efforts align with:

• MCI Group’s net-zero by 2030 commitment and ISO 20121 (Sustainable Events) certification.
• Transparency via post-event sustainability reporting (waste diverted, carbon saved, etc.).

Les exposants représentent une part importante des expositions de l'IAAPA. L'IAAPA invite ses exposants à participer à l'Exhibitor Sustainability Pledge. Chaque entreprise doit s'engager à respecter un minimum de 5 points de durabilité pendant l'exposition dans les catégories suivantes :

• Économie d'énergie
• Construction du stand et graphisme
