Help us to have a sustainable event
The organizing committee of the 29th ISWA 2019 World Congress has planned different aspects to minimize the environmental impact of the event and achieve a truly sustainable congress. Among them:
- Provide electronic registration and promote the event through web and digital channels
- Offer all relevant information through digital channels
- Use recycled paper and print on both sides
- Congress venue accesible by public transportation in less than 30 minutes from airport.
- Offer hotels located within walking distance from the congress venue
- Prioritize congress venue and hotels with environmental certificates
- Use reusable utensils (cups, glasses, plates…)
- Avoid single-dose containers (sugar, sweeteners) in coffee breaks
- Request exhibitors and subcontractors to minimize waste and packaging
- Source-separated collection and individual treatment for paper, plastics, organics and non recyclable waste at the congress venue
- Use reusable water bottles with tap water
What are we asking you?
- Print your accreditation on chlorine free paper
- Come on foot or by public transport to the venue
- Use the ISWA Bilbao2019 app: the whole event is in it, don’t print any paper
- Control the food you serve. Aim not to throw
- Correctly classify the waste you are going to throw away
- Return the plastic of your accreditation at the end of the event. We will reuse it
