With Greenbuild, what Johnson Controls takes to trade shows is totally recyclable Green Exhibitions An old saying has it that actions speak louder than words.  When it comes to talking about the importance of using recyclable and sustainable materials whenever possible, Johnson Controls is putting its money where its mouth is, so to speak.  Proof positive is a recent Greenbuild Trade Show where the entire Johnson Controls' booth comprised recycled and sustainable materials. Not only did the booth amply demonstrate Johnson Controls’ commitment to acting on environmentally friendly principles, the company also hopes the booth will effectively serve as a groundbreaking model for trade shows throughout the world.  Johnson Controls is taking this type of sustainable booth to all trade shows going forward. Not only is Johnson Controls able to recycle all the materials it uses in and at the booth, but its Building Efficiency unit is offering customers and consumers several tools to live more sustainably. At the Show Besides the booth itself, Johnson Controls brought several noteworthy features to the show that help enable a more sustainable life.
