Sustainability at Autumn Fair
Autumn fair 2019 put sustainable retail in the spotlight. All of our collateral and booklets at the show were 100% recyclable and we switched up the usual plastic cups for paper alternatives. The Power of One wall located at the entrance gave out free reusable water bottles in return for making a sustainable pledge on Instagram. Over 1000 people took part, spreading the word to make way for an eco-friendly future.
If you made it to the show, we hope you took advantage of the many sustainable seminars and workshops that took place over the three content theatres. If you missed it don’t worry, check back to our News & Views page over the next few weeks, we will be uploading a select few that we have recorded.
