Waukesha, Wisconsin — March 28, 2023 — Angela Pinkstaff, director of business development at HRG, will lead a Smart! Talk presentation, “Improve Your Environmental Impact with Sustainable Fixture Practices,” on the show floor at Shop! MarketPlace, Wednesday, April 26, at 10:00 a.m. The session will focus on streamlining the fixture reset process by employing processes to facilitate reuse of componentry to decrease waste, reduce labor hours, and increase profitability. Shop! MarketPlace is April 25-27, in Austin, Texas, at the Palmer Events Center.
The interactive presentation will show how technology can help attendees overcome any internal resistance to change and illuminate where improvements can be made, reimagining resets that are more cost effective and socially responsible. Attendees will learn:
- how to assess current reset processes and identify areas for improvement,
- to estimate savings in time, labor, and materials, and
- the significance of the potential improved environmental impact.
Pinkstaff stated, “Social responsibility is not a fad. Brands, retailers, and suppliers alike are looking for ways to implement processes and procedures that have positive, measurable impacts. Improvements in sustainability related to fixture processes can offer constructive environmental impacts, as well as save time, labor, and material costs.”
