OUR COMMITMENTS

The Show is eco-friendly

Printing of all communications documents (brochures, flyers, maps, programmes, invitation cards, press documents, etc.) on recycled paper.
Dematerialisation of many visitor communications tools.
Dematerialisation of visitor badges.
Use of recyclable materials for the small signs at the exhibition.

Integration of recyclable or reusable materials (wood, card, etc.) in the design of stands and communal areas.
Reuse and rental of furniture for the event.
Use of recyclable carpet in the exhibition aisles and reusable carpet tiles in certain areas of the exhibition. The carpet will not be present over the entire width of the aisles of the show to limit its consumption and its impact.

Encouragement to use car-sharing.
Encouragement to travel to the Eurexpo exhibition park using sustainable or public transport: tram, bus, etc.

Development of the public transport offer, served daily by the T5 tramway running from the centre of Lyon to inside the Eurexpo park.

Waste sorting during set-up, opening and dismantling, and reuse of the materials.
Installation of differentiated waste bins in the aisles at the exhibition to sort visitors’ waste.
Sorting now includes wood (partitions, flooring), card, brochures and a high percentage of carpet.
Eurexpo provides a waste sorting guide for its clients.
For furnishing waste, a partnership has been established with Valdélia, the eco-organisation approved by the ministry of ecology, sustainable development and energy. Valdélia recovers everything made of wood (partitions, flooring, etc.) and the furniture left at exhibitions after dismantling. This is all evacuated in a dedicated skip.
Plastic bottles are no longer provided in meeting rooms, a new Tetra Pak solution is in place instead.
Progressive transformation of the materials used for manufacturing commercial signs.
