Subject to the public procurement code, its service providers are selected through public tenders. This enables the organisation to include environmental clauses to ensure that it works with companies that share its vision of environmental responsibility.
These clauses now apply to all high-impact sectors. The marine signage tender, which concerns the production of flags and insignia on boat sails, includes rating criteria directly linked to the environmental impact of the solutions proposed, and more specifically on the Β«means implemented to control the environmental impact of the service eco-design in production, percentage of recyclability of each element, eco-responsibility of materials, environmental certifications and labels, overall responsible approach of the company, packaging of elements, etc.
Focused on the fight against disposable waste and the sustainable and circular management of resources, it aims to facilitate and encourage change among exhibitors, in line with the philosophy of the event, which wishes to support its ecosystem towards more responsible practices. Water fountains will be installed in the village, removing the need to distribute and sell plastic bottles. At the same time, signage has been redesigned in line with the circular economy, with the emphasis on reuse and upcycling.
This will enable them to check that the instructions are being complied with, so as to maximise the acceptance rate of the bags by the collection services and therefore their correct sorting. All the signage materials have been designed to be recycled after the event, either by the partners or by the organisers, who have joined forces with the LILOKAWA workshop and the Recyclerie Culturelle de Montaigu to reuse and upcycle the materials.
Products from the collection will be available for pre-order in the 10th edition village. These unique products give a second life to our communication and information materials. What is sustainable food? Sustainable food is characterized by the consumption of local, seasonal products from short supply chains. It favors a more plant-based approach, while reducing food waste.
