Amcor Wins Sustainable Booth Contest at IME West 2024
We are thrilled to announce that Amcor has emerged as the winner of the Sustainable Booth Contest at IME West 2024! The competition was fierce, and each participating company showcased commendable efforts towards sustainability.
Amcor stood out for several reasons:
- Certifications and Eco-Friendly Partnerships — Amcor's booth materials come with certifications, highlighting their commitment to partnering with an eco-friendly booth constructor and adhering to best practices in the industry.
- Recycling and Reusability — The winning booth is not only a testament to Amcor's sustainable initiatives but also embodies their dedication to the circular economy. The "newer" booth is made from recycled parts of the legacy booth, showcasing a commitment to minimizing waste.
- Efficient Packaging and Reduced Carbon Footprint — Amcor adopts the best packaging methods, significantly reducing the number of crates needed. They've honed their crate logistics, employing smart packaging methods. It's worth noting the extra mile they go by avoiding unnecessary shipments – items either travel with the booth or find a spot in the team's luggage, bypassing the logistical complexities of express carriers. This thoughtful packing strategy not only streamlines operations but also reflects Amcor's commitment to reducing its ecological footprint.
- Digital Engagement and Minimal Waste — Amcor is at the forefront of sustainable practices by eliminating traditional handouts and steering attendees towards QR codes and online digital content. With no promotional items, they aimed to reduce shipping and minimize waste in landfills.
- On-Site Recycling Initiative — The presence of a recycle bin within their booth reflects Amcor's dedication to responsible waste management, ensuring that any recyclable waste generated throughout the day is appropriately disposed of.
- Thematic Sustainability Approach — Amcor's overarching theme for IME West 2024 revolves around "What can we do today for sustainability?" They are not merely showcasing products; they are actively encouraging customers and prospects to take tangible steps towards building a more sustainable future.
