// SUSTAINABILITY
Our aims
At Informa, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. It shapes how we run our events, how we make decisions, and how we do business every day.
We at LOUPE Europe are committed to creating a positive impact for people and the planet across the labels, flexible packaging, and folding carton industries. We lead by example – fostering collaboration, sharing knowledge, and connecting the industry to drive innovation and tackle the major sustainability challenges of the future.
Delivering Sustainable Events
// ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE
Delivering a more environmentally friendly event
Our goal is to achieve zero waste and net-zero carbon by 2030 or sooner. Already, we have taken steps to lead the way in driving change within the events industry and to make our show more sustainable:
- Prioritizing sustainability in all our procurement decisions and recommendations
- Using electric forklifts for building and disassembling stands
- Energy-efficient lighting throughout the event
- Waste recycling for most materials (newspapers, glass, plastics, wood)
- Implementing digital solutions to minimize printed materials
- Encouraging visitors to use public transport and reducing car travel to the event
// INSPIRING SUSTAINABILITY
Inspiring sustainable development in our markets
Sustainability is embedded into LOUPE Europe with the goal of inspiring the label, package printing and converting industries to take meaningful action and sustainable practices. We encourage:
- Leading by example, demonstrating our commitment through actions and words
- Encouraging suppliers, exhibitors, and stakeholders to create sustainable events
- Promoting sustainability to our visitors through content
- In 2025, we partnered with DMP Europe who collected waste onsite at the event. It was recycled into industrial bumpers (used to protect factory walls and equipment), as well as pallets
// CLIMATE INITIATIVES
Informa Better Stands
The Better Stands program aims to unite and encourage exhibitors, along with their appointed contractors, to move away from disposable, single-use stands at events, in favor of reusable structures.

- Take only the brochures or giveaways you truly need, and favour digital alternatives where possible
