Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Company (ADNEC) has launched a three-year environmental strategy which is designed to spread awareness about the impact of exhibition waste and to encourage waste reduction in the regional exhibition industry. The strategy has been launched to coincide with the inaugural World Future Energy Summit (WFES), being held at ADNEC from 21 – 23 January 2008.

During the lead up to the much anticipated WFES, which will address the importance of global energy conservation and pressing environmental challenges, ADNEC is launching its strategy - Reduce, Reuse or Recycle - which focuses on the reduction and re-usability of exhibition waste.

ADNEC has also commenced its unique long-term education program to educate both exhibitors and contractors about waste responsibility and disposal solutions.

ADNEC Chief Executive Officer, Simon Horgan, commented:

“In response to the environmental challenges faced by the international exhibition industry, ADNEC is acting as a catalyst, to reduce the environmental impact of exhibitions. Our education program for exhibitors and contractors will help communicate the moral responsibility and economic sense of reducing, reusing or recycling exhibition waste.”
