Our aim for JEC World: a sustainable event for a sustainable industry.
About Sustainability
Our goal for JEC World is to have a responsible event serving a responsible industry.
Since 2019, JEC World has been committed to reducing its environmental impact and adopting "state-of-the-art" materials and techniques to make JEC World one of the leading exhibitions for sustainability in France. Constant progress has been realized thanks to the implication of our exhibitors and suppliers.
JEC World, a 100% selective sorting event
At each stage of the event (setting up, opening to the public and dismantling), we put in place a system to encourage the collection, sorting and recycling of waste (including booth construction wastes).
Partnership with Millenium: We have selected Millenium as an official cleaning partner, which offers Exhibitors waste disposal solutions with the aim of recycling.
Reduction of waste: Between 2022 and 2023 the tonnage of waste was reduced by 17%, and 50% of the waste collected at the end of JEC World 2023 was revalorized, placing the show in the Top 10 French shows regarding environmental impact.
Reinforcing safety: JEC World has also reinforced security personnel and invested in a video surveillance system to prevent illegal waste dumping.
Our commitments
Reasonable Energy Consumption
We rationalize our energy consumption:
100% of booths are equipped with LED lighting.
The power-up hours of the electrical boxes have been reduced to reduce electricity consumption.
Lighting outside opening hours is optimized.
Thermal comfort is optimized (heating setpoint at 18°C) and controlled by zone.
Reduction of the use of plastic materials
No single-use plastic food packaging is used by official caterers and F&B outlets in Paris Nord Villepinte.
We also use reusable tableware and recyclable disposable tableware.
Water fountains will be installed in the halls to fill your bottles.
Since JEC World 2024 we use badge holders made from recyclable material, with collection and recycling of any unused copies.
Reduction of carbon footprint
We favor public transport:
We provide Exhibitors and Visitors with a free shuttle service connecting the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center to Paris-CDG airport, to selected nearby hotels, and to the Paris city center itself.
RER timetables are displayed within the Paris-Nord Villepinte Exhibition Center.
Reuse
Furniture is rented for all equipped booths, welcome areas and animations. It is sometimes purchased and stored for use on multiple events (no single use).
The structures of the welcome areas and animations (Agoras, VIP Lounge, Planets, JEC booths, etc.) have been reused for several sessions. Structures manufactured for 2025 are designed to be reused and/or recycled.
100% of the equipped booth structures are reused at other shows.
For 2025 we will offer solutions to Exhibitors so that reusable booth equipment (partitions, tarpaulins, furniture, etc. ) can be donated to associations.
Revalorization
Inclusion, Solidarity, Employment
Disabled access: A personalized welcome is provided, including the loan of a wheelchair if necessary. A direct telephone line is dedicated to access to the car parks.
Booth building teams welcome:
A free welcome coffee is offered upon their arriva
We work to improve setting up conditions every year and strengthen cleaning systems to provide the best safety and traffic conditions in Paris Nord Villepinte.
Promotion of training and recruitment: Free entries are offered to students. Each year a Campus zone also welcomes universities from the Composites sector.
