World of Concrete Eliminates 93 Percent of Show Waste

World of Concrete recycled 93 percent of post-show waste this year.

April 7, 2009 – World of Concrete’s recycling program reduced show waste again this year, improving upon last year’s waste reduction. Hanley Wood and Freeman indicate that 93 percent of the post-show waste collected at World of Concrete was diverted from local landfills and recycled, an increase of 12 percent over the 2008 event. In addition to the typical materials used at shows, WOC also contends with concrete walls and slabs used for demonstrations. All of these items were recycled at the close of the show.

“World of Concrete is pleased to continue its effort to recycle post-show waste and concrete,” said Tom Cindric, World of Concrete show director. “Our exhibitors and attendees have been pleased with our results and support this important environmental initiative that is crucial to the tradeshow industry.”

 

“We have partnered with Hanley Wood to help reduce waste on a comprehensive level at World of Concrete for the past two years,” said Martin Moggre, senior vice president sales, exposition services, for Freeman. “Through a local recycling company, we have been able to achieve very impressive results in 2008 and in 2009. It is important to Freeman that we continue to find ways for our clients to reduce, reuse and recycle in a variety of ways at their events, and the results in reducing post-show waste has been a significant part of that goal.”

 

Freeman, Dallas, Texas, is a leading provider of integrated services for face-to-face marketing events including expositions, conventions, corporate events, and exhibits.
