Green Exhibits & Events

The Convention Industry Council's Accepted Practices Exchange (APEX) collaborated with the Green Meeting Industry Council, the EPA and ASTM to develop green meeting standards. More than 200 industry volunteers helped define and develop best practices for the entire industry.

The standards have completed the APEX consensus process and are now being balloted through the ASTM International consensus process, granting the standards recognition through an ANSI-accredited international standards setting organization.

When launched, the standards will be composed of nine sectors within the planning process. Accomodations, Audio/Visual and Production, Communications and Marketing, Destinations, Exhibits, Food and Beverage, Meeting Venue, On-Site Offices, and Transportation.

ELITeXPO understands the importance of these standards and wanted to make sure that we can offer our customers the best in eco-friendly, green exhibits, graphics, flooring, lighting and other products relating to their exhibit.

You can see the findings of the CIC's Green Meetings Report.

For those of you on LinkedIn I highly recommend the groups PLAN it GREEN and Greener Trade Shows which have daily updates on what is happening in the industry as well as some great ideas.

Some of the environmentally responsible materials ELITeXPO's Green Exhibits use are the following:

Aluminum Extrusions: Our aluminum extrusions are lightweight, reconfigurable, and made from up to 70% recycled aluminum! These recycled aluminum extrusions provide structural integrity with significant design appeal.
*Bamboo Plywood:** Bamboo plywood is made from 100% rapidly renewable bamboo, using adhesives that are both strong and emission free. Bamboo is a member of the grass family and is harvested every 7 years. (*Most bamboo is harvested in China and requires transport to the U.S. for use in the manufacturing process)
Sorghum Board. Manufactured from reclaimed agricultural fibers from the sorghum plant grown around the world for food. The stalks are usually burned or thrown into landfills after harvest. By using sorghum board, this material is removed from the waste stream, reducing landfill need and air pollution while giving rural farmers a new source of revenue from previously unused waste material.
Stains and Finishes: Our stains and finishes are water-based, low VOC (Volatile Organic Compound), and VOC Free. All stain, paint, and finishing products are low or no emitting treatments for minimal environmental impact.
Paradise Fabric Graphics: Made from 100% Recycled Soda Bottles, Paradise fabric is the highest quality 100% recycled content fabric made in America today. Up to 40% more durable than similar "green" fabric print media. MADE IN THE USA
Exhibit Graphics: Eco-Systems offers a variety of graphic options that are recycled, recyclable, or made from recycled soda bottles.
Shipping Cases: Our shipping cases are recycled and recyclable. Rotationally molded from recycled plastics, the shipping cases are as durable as traditional cases currently used in the industry.
Bio Carpet: These carpet tiles are made from polymer fibers from polylactic acid and are completely biodegradable at the end of their service lives.
Eco-Fi: Eco-Fi is a high-quality, Velcro compatible polyester fiber made from 100% recycles soda bottles.
LED Lighting: LED lights are 4 times more efficient than a regular incandescent light bulb and times 10 times longer.
GreenCore. GreenCore is bio-degradable and made from FSC certified wood. It offers a 2-sided printable surface which makes it an eco-friendly alternative to Sintra (made from PVC). GreenCore come is 2 different thicknesses, 1/8" and 1/4".
Eco-Glass. A "green" alternative to standard acrylic or plexi-glass and is made from 100% post-consumer recycled soda bottle content. Eco-Glass can be used for shelving, substrate infils, panel infils, direct-to-substrate printing, and much more. Unlike standard acrylic which is made from petroleum based virgin plastics, Eco-Glass is made from 100% recycled material and is just as durable as its competitors.
ReCo. Flexible substrate material made from 100% recycled plastics.
