The Kay Bailey Hutchison Convention Center Dallas (KBHCCD) is committed to supporting and encouraging sustainable practices. Our dedication to resource conservation, sustainability, source reduction, and waste diversion is standard operating procedure. We pride ourselves in working with clients to host environmentally-friendly meetings and offering “green” practices, when possible.
Water
· Our maintenance and housekeeping staffs are trained to detect and report leaks for immediate repairs to conserve water.
Green Purchases
· We purchase and use environmentally friendly cleaning products, which in turn contribute to cleaner effluent.
Electricity
· High-speed dock doors mean efficient temperature control inside exhibit halls. · High efficiency motors were installed throughout the HVAC system replacing old high energy consuming motors.
Recycling
· We offer free recycling collection which helps to offset show and exhibitor costs for garbage collection. · Paper, cardboard and metals are collected and recycled on a consistent basis. · More than 7.6 tons of unconsumed food has been donated to local non-profits, serving those in need. · All used cooking oil is collected for conversion to bio-diesel. · Our catering partner uses compostable utensils for all disposable applications.
If you’re looking to host a more sustainable event, please speak with your Event Manager/Coordinator about how we can help you achieve your green goals.
