Green Initiatives
Infinity has taken the following steps to increase awareness and implement green strategies within our organization:
- Ordering recycled or biodegradable conference materials
- Recycling excess generic conference materials
- Reducing duplication of conference materials whenever possible
- Including green initiatives in hotel contracts that cover placement of labeled recycling bins, as well as labeled bins for real trash, near each meeting room and at registration/break areas
- Office recycling of all plastics, paper, cans, glass and cardboard
- Using 100% recycled paper
- Donation of unused meeting materials like pens, pads of paper, and bags to local schools and homeless shelters
- Giving clients the option of using our Survey Monkey account to evaluate meetings instead of having participants complete paper evaluation forms
- Asking clients if they wish to have presentations and participant lists e-mailed to participants as opposed to having speakers or Infinity staff provide printed copies
- Working with clients to effectively use Web announcements, online registration, and e-mail confirmations as opposed to paper versions
- Based on clients’ requests, placing all meeting materials on a USB drive, as an alternative to folders and binders, and distributing information electronically to the meeting participants
- Creating reusable signage and banners for meetings that occur annually or on a regular basis
- Requesting hotel staff to sort waste materials when cleaning up meeting rooms
- Collecting participants badges after the meeting so that they may be recycled and/or supplying ecofriendly name badges
- Ensuring any hard copies of meeting materials are printed double-sided whenever the client agrees it is appropriate
- Working with meeting facilities to arrange for the local recycling of conference materials
- Reusing badge holders, binders, ribbons, and other meeting materials whenever possible
- Reviewing hotel contracts and other documents to ensure the meeting facilities have a green initiatives program
