GREEN STEPS

Some new steps for Outdoor Retailer Summer Market include:

Paper badges (recycled paper and soy ink) - no more petroleum based badges!
Recycled aisle carpet
Exhibitors can order recycled booth carpet too!
Bio-degradable food ware - utensils, plates, napkins, cups, sandwich containers
Renewable energy - We still support 100% wind energy for every show we produce!
We recycle everything! All cardboard during exhibitor move-in as well as all trash from the show floor is recycled.

Retailers are increasingly interested in doing business with exhibitors that are performing "green." In an effort to raise awareness, we created the Green Steps Program for exhibitors wanting to highlight themselves as taking steps toward greener business practices.

Outdoor Retailer will showcase exhibiting companies that are taking active steps towards a healthy and greener outdoor industry. Look for the green feet as you walk throughout the hall! Also check out the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market Official Handbook plus outdoorretailer.com for companies that are taking steps in the right direction towards a healthier outdoor industry. There are some truly great resources and information on how to support a green lifestyle in the office and at home.
