Greening CBC
It’s imperative that we are a reflection of the inspiring green efforts that we see in your companies! Following is an overview of CBC’s sustainability efforts:
Exhibitors
Minimizing waste in BrewExpo America® is crucial to greening the event.
- Exhibitors have been asked to make a commitment to sustainability (and provided the resources to do so) and have a pack-in, pack-out mentality.
- Collection bins are available during set-up and tear-down to recycle cardboard, plastics (including shrink wrap) and the like. Place materials in front of your booth to be hauled off.
- Whenever possible, Freeman Exhibit Services will reuse materials, including signage, carpeting and pallets.
- ZeroHero coordinates landfill diversion efforts during set-up and tear-down, as well as manages recovery on the docks to direct materials to various waste management centers.
Conscious Products
- Recyclable #1 plastic cups are available throughout all areas, including beer stations, hospitality suites and seminars. Place these in the single stream recycling bins throughout the venue.
- Please use your commemorative glass provided by sponsor Chrislan whenever possible!
