At present, China has become a major convention and exhibition country. According to statistics, in 2015, China's exhibition industry has grown steadily, with a total exhibition area of more than 110 million square meters, forming three major industrial clusters including the Bohai Sea, the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta. At the same time, the construction of exhibition venues is in the ascendant. The total area of the pavilion has been built to nearly 9 million square meters, and more than 1.8 million square meters are under construction. However, China's exhibition industry has problems such as unreasonable structure, imperfect policies, and weak international competitiveness. Recently, the China Green Exhibition Development Seminar hosted by the Circulation Industry Promotion Center of the Ministry of Commerce was held during the 4th Beijing International Trade Fair to promote the low-carbon and environmentally-friendly green development concept and guide the exhibition enterprises to enhance their environmental awareness and become the consensus of the participants.
Lu Zhengyi, director of the Circulation Industry Promotion Center of the Ministry of Commerce, said at the forum that, unlike the traditional exhibition mode, green exhibitions are based on the principle of sustainable development, with information technology and new materials as the carrier, which is a brand-new development model. The upstream and downstream ecosystem of the exhibition industry. Zhou Qiang, deputy director of the Circulation Industry Promotion Center of the Ministry of Commerce, said that during the "13th Five-Year Plan" period, China's exhibition industry will have great development, and promoting green exhibitions will definitely make a difference.
Since the 1990s, some countries in Europe and the United States have successively launched green exhibition guides and corresponding standards, which opened the prelude to the practice of global green exhibitions. China's green exhibition concept and service system have just started. From the Beijing Olympic Games to the Shanghai World Expo, from the Xi'an World Expo to the Guangzhou Canton Fair, although there are successful cases, the awareness of green environmental protection in the whole industry has yet to be popularized, and the relevant industrial chain needs to be improved.
Zhao Weiping, the head of an exhibition company in Germany, said that the area of garbage produced by the exhibition usually accounts for 50% of the total area. Half of the things are discarded. Most of them are decoration materials and publicity materials, which is a waste of waste. Zhao Weiping believes that for green exhibitions, the first thing to consider is to use recycled or recycled materials to avoid excessive use of wood. At the same time, register online and use U disk to copy data, use modular or portable props, try to rent local items, accurately plan the logistics road map, avoid carbon-discharging transportation, and be efficient and environmentally friendly.
According to the relevant person in charge of the Department of Service Trade and Business Services of the Ministry of Commerce, the Department of Trade and Industry of the Ministry of Commerce will use energy conservation and environmental protection as an important evaluation indicator for the Ministry of Commerce to support the exhibition to promote the concept of low-carbon and environmentally friendly green development and guide the exhibition enterprises to enhance Environmental awareness. The person in charge also revealed that in order to solve the problem of unreasonable structure and weak international competitiveness in China's convention and exhibition industry, the State Council issued the "Several Opinions on Further Promoting the Reform and Development of the Exhibition Industry" in 2015. The overall requirement of "Several Opinions" is to adhere to the direction of specialization, internationalization, branding and informationization, actively promote the marketization process, advocate low-carbon, environmental protection and green concepts, accelerate the transformation and upgrading of the exhibition industry, and strive to promote China's exhibition industry. To the development of the exhibition industry. The Ministry of Commerce regards "Several Opinions" as the foothold for promoting the healthy development of the exhibition industry, promoting the coordination and coordination of various departments and regions, and strengthening policy implementation.
Many experts in the industry have made suggestions on how to implement the Green Exhibition (Xinyi Exhibition Material Factory) in China's convention and exhibition industry. They called for the promotion of green exhibitions to strengthen the social responsibility of exhibiting enterprises and the overall green environmental awareness of employees. In particular, leading enterprises and key enterprises in all aspects of the industry chain should promote green exhibitions as the first enterprises. At present, the organizers of large-scale domestic exhibitions have become the forerunners of green exhibitions. Among them, the Canton Fair, the largest exhibition in Asia, has launched a green exhibition plan since 2013. During the implementation process, the organizers put forward relevant measures and plans for green exhibitions, green conferences, green exhibitions, and green dismantling. The results are remarkable.
