Welcome to Planet Champion™
Our commitment to you is matched only by our commitment to the environment.
Planet Champion works with partners and customers to raise environmental awareness, develop innovative solutions and to establish best-in-the-industry efforts to:
- Reduce energy consumption and waste
- Reuse inventory and graphics
- Use recyclable products
- Recycle
- Use products that contain post-consumer content
Here are just a few of the Planet Champion's initiatives that are currently underway.
- Champion’s exclusive sign substrates and investment in the latest printing technology allow high-quality signage to be produced without the use of
laminate or glues, reducing the use of non-recyclable plastic products by more than 30%. After the show, the graphics are reclaimed and
fully recycled, completing the circle of sustainability.
- Exhibitor kits are available online; any binders mailed are made from post-consumer recovered fiber and recycled paper, printed two-sided
(offer print publication on request-only basis).
- Exhibitor kits are also available on CD-ROM. This option saves over 200 pages of paper and .5 kilowatts per kit.
- Our aluminum system components are continually reused and recycled into new system components when worn.
- Our carpet padding is made from 95% recycled urethane (material from chairs
and car seats). It is CRI "Green Label" certified, meeting LEED low emission requirements. Once expended, we then continue to use as packing material.
- We use organic muslin or velour drapery where possible.
Show Site Procedures
- Minimize energy use by turning down/off lighting and air conditioning during exhibit move-in and move-out
- Utilize convention center’s recycling program (Material Recovery Facility) to sort and to recycle non-food waste (paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum, plastic materials, etc.)
Office Procedures
- Electronic internal & external workflow systems greatly reduce need for printed documents
- Use paper products with post-consumer content, print double-sided, recycle
- Use Energy Star® rated office equipment and lighting
