SABINE eco-actions
For its second edition, the SABINE fair redoubled its efforts to fight against global warming.
Just like any other important event, the fair produces a certain rate of CO2. That’s why SABINE renewed its involvement this year by signing with EDF the « zero carbone » convention, ensuring a free-carbon edition.
SABINE, an eco-friendly fair trade, commited to carbon neutrality
A common approach
As each of us is responsible for the planet, let’s get involved together in this ecologically-responsible approach. Exhibitors, visitors , this is your turn to act for the environment thanks to simple gestures:
> Use low CO2 transports :
- Voyage by TGV and use the free shuttles between the two Reims stations
- Use the public transports
- Do carpool
- Take the flexfuel shuttles (bioethanol) of the Marne regional council
> Reduce your waste during the fair :
- Offer immaterial presents (uploading videos instead of DVDs)
- Remove disposable and non-recyclable items
- Choose reusable materials for the construction of your stands
- Limit your paper consumption : take only the papers you will read
>Process the remaining waste :
- Use the waste sorting points of the fair
- Sort your cardboard/plastic waste
- Do the separate collection for glass (containers behind the exhibition hall are available)
UMICORE VM Zinc voted eco-exhibitor of SABINE 2010
With the aim of reducing the ecological footprint of the fair, SABINE has created the eco-exhibitor contest in order to associate the exhibitors to their approach and reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases linked to this event thanks to a collective effort.
The UMICORE VM Zinc company was declared winner of this eco-contest.
Mr. Frédéric Sergent was given a GITANE electric bicycle by Mr. Denis Violle (director of EDF Collectivités EST) built in the Cycleurope workshops in Romilly sur Seine.
A quiz was created and handled by the YSER technical high school and its 10 students.
Each stand signed the Exhibitor’s eco-actions charter before answering to 30 questions about the use of reusable materials for stands, the sorting of alimentary and paper waste, the use of glass cups…
