This past weekend Fast Signs had a national meeting in Orlando, FL which included an expo for their preferred vendors. Nova Polymers was invited to give a presentation Green Sign Systems and ADA Signage.
There were two specific things I was interested in as I made my way to Orlando - three if you count the weather on the golf course.
The first thought I had was whether or not the audience I was presenting to would be interested in talking about environmentally conscious signage and relating it to the trends that are occurring in the building industry. To my surprise there was a fairly positive reception. Approximately 50% of the audience said that their customers had been asking about greener signs.
The second thought was how many vendors would be promoting green products, energy efficiency and other environmental related things. The were two companies that were promoting green. Hanson Sign Company was showing their green electric sign cabinets that are illuminated with LEDs that are significantly more energy efficient than competitive cabinets with fluorescent bulbs. Value Vinyls was promoting a new banner material called EcoLogic which is 100% recyclable.
Overall, a typical sign expo. The positive thing is that these events are starting to include presentations with environmental content and leading vendors are promoting their green products, even if the industry isn't screaming for it yet.
