Reduce, Reuse, Recycle … become Green Conscious

For your next trade show, partner with Absolute Exhibits and minimize waste by renting an exhibit made of prefabricated, reusable systems components and still achieve a sophisticated look while being environmentally aware. Amongst the many new initiatives we have undertaken at Absolute Exhibits:

• We are working diligently to recycle our exhibit building materials including steel, aluminum scraps, recyclable plastics, and wood trimmings.
• All exhibit carpeting is steam cleaned, repaired, and cut to a new size to minimize waste through repeated reuse.
• Carpet padding is reused as packing materials and recycled into new reclaimed carpet pad.
• In our offices we have maximized technology for our internal processes to reduce paper consumption and reduce electricity use.

When we opened our doors we were a portable-modular reseller to the public. After 9/11 the market in trade show exhibits took a wide turn and so did we – we became our own brand and started renting exhibits, as they do all over the world. As the last few years progressed we realized that the turn and burn chic of the rest of the world was really only environmentally good on behalf of the buyer – and not being environmentally savvy on our side, the builder.

We began making a conscious effort to investigate all of the ways we could make our rental inventory more socially responsible. Going green and becoming green, are not just new fashionable phrases to step up our marketing plan. It is now incumbent upon all of us to step up our efforts as exhibitors and exhibit suppliers. This is a very difficult bar to jump over as working in very tight time constraints with union restrictions, makes the challenge not just about turning on the green light in our workshop, but also on the trade show floor.

There is no set formula to make an instant impact on the world, however, the Absolute Exhibits idea is to be Green Conscious. The terms “saving the planet,” or being “environmentally friendly” can turn as many people off as on. Many people believe it is expensive to go green and while that may be true in some areas, that does not have to be the case with exhibiting. This is the truth as we see it, as more people reduce their ecological footprint by becoming conscious consumers, each person’s effort, no matter how small, will make a large and hopefully long lasting difference as the whole.
