If you’re flying to the event, consider offsetting your CO₂ emissions. Many airlines offer this option when booking; if not, visit MyClimate for accurate calculations and various offsetting projects.

Please follow the environmental guidelines from your hotel and ExpoRio. Simple actions — like reusing towels, turning off lights and air‑conditioning when not needed — make a big collective impact.

If you won’t be attending a lunch, dinner, or social activity, kindly inform event staff in advance. This helps us plan portions accurately and reduce food waste.

Whenever possible, share your transport! Use Liquid Gas Week shuttle services or coordinate rides with fellow colleagues to cut down on traffic and emissions.

The ExpoRio provides waste‑sorting bins for paper, plastics, and other recyclables. Please take a moment to sort correctly; every piece matters.

At the end of Liquid Gas Week, return recyclable items such as badges and lanyards to the drop‑off boxed at the exit of the venue. This helps us ensure these materials are reused, repurposed or recycled responsibly.

Visit the Carioca Arts & Crafts Corner at the Exhibition Hall! Every purchase supports local artists and celebrates Brazilian craftsmanship, while reducing the carbon footprint (compared to imported goods).

Bring your reusable water bottle to refill at water stations. This small step saves hundreds of cups over the course of the event.

If you learn a new sustainability practice here, share it with a colleague or friend. Inspiration grows when passed along.

"LPG Week fabric was used (in part) to make two lovely picnic blankets. They are double sided so they can be used either way. FYI… we attended a local market this weekend and one of the picnic blankets actually sold. The balance of the material will be used for other items." - Up-Cycle bean bags team

"Thank you once again for the donation of wood which we received from you. We are eternally grateful. We built an early learning centre for the kids from the community and used many of the boards for the dry walls which separated the classrooms.
Because of the wood that was donated, we could also build a Resource Centre for the bigger children and used the wood very effectively. Finally, the building which we use as a mobile Clinic for the elderly needed a ramp to help those who are wheelchair bound, which we have just completed recently.” - Brian Keet, Director

“The Baphumelele team are incredibly grateful for the contribution by LPG Week 2024/Cape Town and deeply amazed by the impeccable timing, as our organisation is currently under pressure with Back to School needs. Please know that we do not take this support lightly. The event’s generosity has a significant impact on the lives and education of our children, and for that, we are profoundly thankful. On behalf of Mama Rosie and the entire Baphumelele team, THANK YOU once again!” - Mama Rosie
