If you are a professional renewable energy, green IT, waste management, if you are involved to CSR or if you're just interested in sustainable development, the exhibition will illuminate Pollutec your projects. The show was indeed held this year in the City of Lights (from November 30 to December 3). As a reminder, Pollutec, the international exhibition of equipment, technologies and services, is a leading global market environment. In a growing industry, it has even become a major event. Let's pretend for the Marjolaine fair: from blah to explain that the show is a great show and if you do not go you're missing something. And then I take you behind the scenes to see how the organizers have downplayed the environmental impact of the show (with my comments).
Tech International, informative and rewarding, here in 4 words what Pollutec.
Tech International, informative and rewarding, here in 4 words what Pollutec.
-Lounge 'tech': more than 200 technological innovations in all sectors.
-An international exhibition: 47 countries present with "small" developments such as China and India.
-Lounge instructive: 300 conferences and events organized by all partners and exhibitors. Little focus on the space dedicated to responsible purchasing, Buy & Care, home to the first time a forum "Social Responsibility and Communication", and allows professionals addressing issues of sustainable development to design and implement a communication line with their overall approach. This will include participation in interactive workshops and attending conferences (How to reduce the environmental footprint of its printed communication? - Socio-Eco-design of a communication activity - Unite-parties involved in an eco- design).
-Lounge rewarding: AWARDS 2010 as the Business Awards and environment ( Meta-It, I told you there shortly, will travel!), the European Prize for Environmental Innovation (EEP Awards), the award for Innovation & Buy Trophy Care or eco-design of the stands will reward the best innovations recognized by industry experts.

These trophies are orchestrated by the communications agency responsible and Toulouse, but it is almost a tautology; ) - ICOM (also behind the show Buy & Care). Among the selection criteria: a choice of materials coatings and recyclable or reusable, the establishment of a multi-collection of waste, reducing consumption of electricity for lighting the stand, reducing waste production, modes of travel, catering. ..

Organised by Reed Exhibitions France, led Pollutec for several years an evolutionary approach to improved environmental performance.
Additionally, ICOM has been selected to assist the organizers of Pollutec to step up their commitments in eco-design of printed communication the exhibition, especially for the space dedicated to responsible purchasing Buy & Care, whose agency is at the origin.
Let us see what steps have been taken in organizing the exhibition.
1) Print all documents promotion of the show on paper from well managed forests at printers members Imprim'Vert .
-> mmmh ... can not do better? PEFC certification , or even better than FSC would have been more serious than the label Imprim'Vert whose specification remains limited. Icom however indicates that platelets are living Buy & Care FSC ® ... but if Icom has taken place on the communication forum Buy & Care then this is a shame for the rest of the print!

2) Widespread use of electronic communications and web tools to reduce paper consumption, including dematerialisation technical guide.
3) Providing stands "green" wood or cardboard.
3) Providing stands "green" wood or cardboard.
-> Too bad that all the proposed stands are not green. Instead of choosing between the stand "green", the "basic", "comfort" and "special equipment" would have been great to have several choices in the pits environmentalists.
4) Devices for collection of waste to facilitate recycling of 118 tons of waste generated at the show: setting up Points Tri (paper / cardboard, glass and other waste), collection of glass on the stands and recovery aluminum cans around the bar, in partnership with CKFD.
-> cans that are not "at the edge of the bar" are therefore left out?!
5) Set up carpooling with 123 envoiture.com

-> I had searched in vain in the event tab site, no trace of Pollutec
6) Eco-Design Buy & Care: Using board partitions dyed, low voltage lighting and carpet recovered and valued in the manufacture of shoes, insoles and mats.
7) Send all mailings to exhibitors conducted by HANDIRECT (business network that employs the majority of disabled employees)
8) Online as a CO2 calculator that allows visitors to evaluate emissions CO2 produced during their trip to the show and to offset the impact of their displacement by a grant (Action Carbone Foundation GoodPlanet)
9) Use the entire living room of a carpet of walks which will be recovered and valued at 100% in the manufacture of shoes, insoles and mats. This operation avoids the start-BOT nearly 13 tons of carpet

-> good idea!
When Pollutec Horizons 2009, 46% of waste was recovered lounge.

In 2010, Pollutec a step further by implementing its carbon footprint by the agency INDDIGO . The scope will span all activities of the show and in particular:
- Emissions from Eurexpo (heating, immobilization )
- Emissions from the activity of the living: pits (including end of life), waste, food
- Emissions from transportation (exhibitors, visitors ..)
