To improve its sustainability values, the Expowest Cornwall trade show is leading the charge in responsible waste management. Beyond the vibrant showcase of hospitality and catering innovations, this year’s event prioritises minimising environmental impact through strategic partnerships.
Passmore Cleaning Company, who are exhibiting at the show for the first time, will spearhead the collection of waste from stands, along with cleaning the show, while TQuality takes on the responsibility of recycling cooking oil used during the show. Biffa, the waste management experts, will be playing a crucial role in ensuring the responsible disposal of the various wastes generated by a trade show, including food waste, glass, cardboard, and mixed general waste. All this will be either recycled appropriately or taken to a waste plant for conversion into electricity.
Taking place on Wednesday 6th and Thursday 7th March at the Royal Cornwall Showground in Wadebridge, Expowest Cornwall brings together buyers from the hospitality, catering, and food retail industries, offering a unique opportunity to explore a diverse array of food and drink brands all under one roof.
Mike Anderson, Managing Director of show organisers Hale Events, expresses the commitment to waste reduction, stating, “We are constantly striving to better manage the waste produced at our trade shows. It’s great to be working with Passmore Cleaners, TQuality, and Biffa in Cornwall to enhance waste separation and removal, with a focus on recycling as much as possible.”
This pioneering initiative aligns with the broader vision of Expowest Cornwall, which not only offers free attendance for trade buyers but also promises two unparalleled days of networking with the leading producers, service providers, and distributors in the industry.
