With more than 150,000 attendees and 3,264 exhibitors covering
1.9 million square feet of space, the 2013 CES will feature TechZones
including Sustainable
Planet, GoElectricDrive
and Eureka
Park. In addition to the donation to local green organizations, CEA
has an overall goal in conjunction with the 2013 International CES to
increase the reuse and recycle rate for solid waste generated at the
show beyond last year’s high of 75 percent. For the second year, more
than 190,000 badge holders were made from vinyl banners from the
previous year’s CES, and CEA will also collect discarded publications
and show collateral, setting out to surpass last year’s collection of
50,000 pounds of materials.

International CES please go to CESweb.org/green.
