As we work to make the CAAA Conference as sustainable as possible, we bring you the following details fom the Delta St. John's Hotel and Conference Centre:
The facility uses motion sensor lighting, avoiding lengthy periods of unnecessary electricity
Energy efficient machinery is used in the laundry department
F&B drops to the facility are maximized, to limit the number of supplier deliveries
Plates, silverware and service equipment has been sourced through companies which were mandated to have stellar green and environmental programs in place
Organic food and paper waste is ground, then separated from its liquid and then dehydrated – this reduces the amount of waste going to land fill as waste water goes back into sewage treatment plants and food dries into a lighter weight and compostable condition
No Styrofoam products are used
Pens are manufactured with 10% recycled materials
All electronic components and printer inks are recycled at the nearest electronics recycle facility
