CO2 balance to trade fairs

At the "Packaging Zurich 2014" and "Packaging Innovations Zurich 2014" trade fairs, climate protection will be remembered.There is currently talk of many millions of tons of carbon dioxide when it comes to climate protection and the reduction targets of the states. But how much carbon dioxide do business activities and associated processes actually release? And what effect do changes in behavior or technical measures have?instead of a lot of words, make a start: That is what easyFairs has set out to do and is committed to greater sustainability at "Verpackung Zürich 2014" and the parallel "Packaging Innovations Zürich 2014". In cooperation with ClimatePartnera leading business solution provider for climate protection, a carbon footprint of the trade fairs is being drawn up. All aspects are examined, from planning to implementation. easyFairs trade fair manager Martina Hofmann explains: "It's exciting to see what effect your own actions have: What would happen if you lowered the room temperature by one degree? What if the lighting and stand modules were changed, as many visitors as possible were to use public transport, or electricity-intensive applications were specifically reduced? Which strategy will lead to lower CO2 emissions has not yet been determined. What is defined, however, is the option for the future. Martina Hofmann emphasizes: "Our goal is to reduce the CO2 emissions of trade shows in the coming years."Growth opportunities through voluntary climate protectionThe path to climate-neutral packaging will be explained at the upcoming Verpackung Zürich and Packaging Innovations Zürich trade fairs from March 26-27, 2014, at the ClimatePartner booth (Hall 3, Booth F21) and will be explored in greater depth in the learnShop lecture "Climate-friendly packaging as an innovative building block for a sustainable supply chain". The practical example of the Swiss company Model AG, one of the leading European packaging manufacturers (MK-Fokus reported).In general, climate-neutral packaging is increasingly becoming a co-decisive criterion in the business process. Creating growth opportunities through voluntary climate protection: In it ClimatePartner supports enterprises of all industries. Moritz Lehmkuhl, managing director of ClimatePartner, explains, "Packaging manufacturers create clear added value for their customers with a CO2 certificate; at the same time, this is a way to differentiate themselves from the competition." The international climate protection specialist ClimatePartner is a TÜV-Austria-certified provider of IT system solutions for efficient carbon management, including CO₂-balancing and -compensation. easyFairsEvents in Switzerland - 2014 at a glance:- Maintenance Switzerland 2014, February 05 & 06, 2014, Messe Zurich- Packaging Zurich 2014, March 26 & 27, 2014, Messe Zurich (Halls 3 and 4)- Packaging Innovations Zurich 2014, March 26 & 27, 2014, Messe Zurich (Halls 5, 6 and 7)- Labotec Basel 2014, May 14 & 15, 2014, Messe Basel
