Sustainability Tips For
Attendees & Exhibitors
At the Middle East Coatings Show, we are committed to fostering sustainability throughout our event. We encourage visitors and exhibitors to join our sustainability initiatives. Below is a compiled list to help you participate and create a more sustainable event.
For All Attendees
Accommodation — Utilise accommodation options situated within walking distance of the venue. By working with HotelMap, attendees can easily discover accommodation choices in close proximity to the event
Transport — Arrange travel plans with colleagues to promote sustainability by carpooling between the hotel and airport. This practice helps reduce carbon emissions and minimise the environmental impact.
For Exhibitors
Choose modular stands instead of MDF structures to help reduce waste and encourage reusability.
Opt for reusable and sustainable materials for corporate gifts and giveaways instead of plastic bags.
Repurpose custom elements from your stand and consider renting furniture to reduce resource consumption.
Printed collateral:
Embrace digital solutions to minimise paper waste, and choose recycled paper when printing is essential.
Reuse any extra printed materials from the event.
