Make use of the environmentally friendly offers of your hotel (change of towels and bed linen only when needed or the like).

Turn off all lights and electronic equipment (TV, air condition system, heating, computer etc.) when you leave the hotel room.

Reusability = environmental protection: opt for drinks served by the glass, meals served on crockery, milk and sugar without individual packaging etc.

Dispose of your waste (PET, glass, paper, metal, batteries, etc.) via the separate collection systems provided at your hotel and at the event venue.

During your trips, whenever possible, give preference to Green/Eco certified hotels. Here you can find a list of Green Hotels in Austria: https://www.umweltzeichen.at/en/tourism/hotels.

The venue has a waste management policy and provides appropriate trash bins to separate waste.

Do not produce more than is needed to avoid waste. Dispose of your waste through the correct and separate collection provided at the event.

Reduce packaging and use degradable materials.

If possible, use online registration and/or digital materials instead of paper copies /handouts.

Drop off your conference badge at the Registration desk after the event.

More information about waste separation can be found on the website of Austria's digital government agency.
