New: Innovadex - Skip The Paper
No one likes to lug pounds of paper around the show, and we all know it's not good for the environment. This year, Engredea exhibitors are reducing waste by distributing their product information electronically. The average exhibitor brings 40 pounds of printed materials to a trade show, which for a show of this size takes 17 tons of wood to produce with a process that generates over 112,000 gallons of wastewater and 42,000 pounds of CO2. The Innovadex iPad electronic exchange system eliminates the need for these printed collateral materials, thus reducing cost and directly impacting the environment. Look for exhibitors with iPads and let them know you prefer “paperless” this year.
