BSHI are committed to providing an environmentally friendly conference and providing sustainable options where possible.
Below are some of the ways this is being achieved:
-
We are no longer using single plastic badge holders, and are instead printing all badges on recyclable paper
-
Sustainable and biodegradable lanyards will be used
-
Reusable drinks bottles will be given to all delegates and water stations provided
-
The conference will be paperless and instead we will be using a delegate app
-
Any printed signage will not be dated, so that it can be used for future events
-
All food will be sourced locally, to reduce carbon emissions
-
Exhibitors will be asked to reuse their stand material where possible and encouraged to take their waste away with them to recycle
-
The conference venue is in a central location with great transport links, reducing the need to drive
-
At conference our poster abstracts will be presented on eposter boards instead of paper
