ARE YOU ALREADY AWARE OF OUR SOCIAL AND SUSTAINABILITY ACTIONS?
We are committed to FuturePrint having a positive impact on people and the planet. We want to play a key role in helping the entire community improve its own sustainability, connecting people to the networks and knowledge that will occur to help solve the great challenges of the future.
FuturePrint, the largest fair for the visual communication, screen printing and digital printing sectors in Latin America, recognizes the importance of sustainability in its initiatives. For us, sustainability represents a commitment to both the present and the future, demonstrating our responsibility to promote an environmentally conscious, socially equitable and economically viable world.
In our sector, which covers a wide range of processes, we face significant challenges in relation to sustainability, including efficient production with environmental balance and positive social impact. We see these challenges as opportunities to unite the community in search of effective solutions and to make the sector more resilient, with more sustainable practices.
FuturePrint aims to be a platform to discuss and shape the present and future of the market, strengthening a transformative movement and collectively building a sustainable scenario.
As part of our commitment, we are focused on three pillars of sustainability
Free workshops and content
FuturePrint provides free workshops and promoted content throughout the event. The FuturePrint Forum will feature several lectures promoted by leading professionals in the visual communication sector, aiming to expand the knowledge and training of entrepreneurs in the sector. The Serigraphy in Action and Sublimation in Action workshops will offer learning trails with the big names in the printing and personalized market, including developing practical activities with the participants. In addition to the Digital Textile Printing Circuit and Talks FutureTêxtil, which will seek to deepen the knowledge of those working in the textile segment about digital printing.
Print (Re)print Project
FuturePrint supports the Focus Têxtil Institute, which together with Brother, a Japanese multinational and exhibitor at the fair, offers unprecedented training in print design and modeling.
The program is aimed at adults, predominantly from classes C, D and E, and several minority groups. During FuturePrint 2024, there will be a special laboratory at the fair where students will finalize their creations live, using existing prints as a base.
Conscious printing
All materials printed on FuturePrint paper are made only from FSC-certified paper, which guarantees the sustainable management of the ecosystem originating from its raw materials.
Bag reuse
As with other Informa Markets events, FuturePrint also works to reuse credential holders, collecting them from visitors as they leave the event so that they can be treated and reused again, thus substantially reducing the generation of plastic waste.
Selective collect
In partnership with Expo Center Norte, FuturePrint properly treats and separates organic waste from recyclables, so that each has its correct destination and reuse in the case of recyclables.
Credit room
In partnership with ABIGRAF-SP, the Credit Room is the space where visitors had the opportunity to find financial institutions with easy financing and loan options that offer much more attractive conditions than normal market ones, aiming to boost entrepreneurship, innovation and development of the sectors that make up our market.
Sustainable Stand [Responsible consumption and production]
Initiative that aims to encourage FuturePrint exhibitors to increasingly opt for sustainable solutions and projects in their stands, with the aim of significantly impacting post-event waste generation.
LED on stands
All Informa Markets stands and institutional structures within FuturePrint only have LED lamps, which are more economical, durable and energy efficient.
Renewable electricity
As part of our commitment to sustainability at FuturePrint, we use 100% renewable electricity at our event. This makes our electricity use carbon neutral and significantly reduces the carbon footprint of our event.
Carpet reuse:
Around 80% of the carpets that cover the entire floor at FuturePrint will be reused from other Informa Markets events, which has a strong commitment to waste management at all its events and works at all times to minimize its impacts on the environment .
Free Transport: We have a free transfer leaving from the Portuguesa-Tietê Metro station towards the event, so that our visitors can have easier mobility and avoid using private transport via car, thus reducing surrounding traffic and CO² emissions In the atmosphere. We also offer a shuttle from some hotels in the region to minimize the impact of individual transport to the event.
