New for
2019, SALTEX visitors can expect to experience the latest green technology in
groundscare in a new area on the show floor, which is purely dedicated to
environmentally-friendly products.
The trend
towards sustainable and environmentally-friendly practices in groundscare is
gathering pace.
Today, an
increased number of grounds personnel, greenkeepers, landscapers and
contractors are looking for products that can deliver quality results but also
reduce carbon footprints to the environment.
Although
more than 80 per cent of SALTEX 2018 visitors rated their overall show
experience as being excellent, the post-show survey also revealed that visitors
thought the exhibition could benefit even further from a wider choice of
eco-friendly products and services.
The all
new Eco Village at SALTEX will feature a programme of daily demonstrations of
cutting-edge sustainable technology - offering visitors an opportunity of
seeing a number of products in action.
Furthermore,
industry experts, within this village, will offer advice on green technology
and how it could benefit current working practices.
Commenting
on the Eco Village, SALTEX event director Matthew Knight, said: “Each year we
listen to every single piece of feedback and implement tangible changes that
will make the SALTEX experience even better.
“It is
great to see groundscare manufacturers committed to reducing the environmental
footprints and with the increasing demand for battery-powered products it makes
sense to launch a new area at SALTEX, which solely focuses on these
technologies.
“There has
been a huge amount of interest from companies that are looking to participate
and we are expecting to stage a fascinating and varied demonstration
programme.”
SALTEX
2019 takes place at the NEC, Birmingham on October 30 and 31.
