The London Vet Show’s Iconic Pink Carpet Goes Green!

London Vet Show, Europe’s leading veterinary event held annually at the ExCeL London, is taking a significant step towards reducing its environmental footprint by transitioning to a sustainable carpet solution.

The Iconic Pink Carpet: Now with a Green Purpose

The pink carpet has become a prominent part of the London Vet Show experience, known and loved by attendees and exhibitors. With sustainability as our top priority, we’ve made a decision to invest in Rewind carpet—a zero-to-landfill, 100% recyclable solution.

The Rewind carpet range is a high-performance, eco-friendly alternative designed to help events go green. Manufactured completely latex-free, Rewind carpet production generates 55% fewer carbon emissions compared to traditional cord carpets, ensuring minimal impact on the environment. The carpet will be collected after the London Vet Show and recycled, ensuring that no carpet waste goes to landfill.

BOVA UK Supports the Green Transition

London Vet Show 2024 is thrilled to have the support of BOVA UK, a leading veterinary specials manufacturer guided by a strong sustainability strategy. We’re proud to champion responsible practices and a more sustainable future for the industry through this partnership.

“Switching to Rewind carpet is a significant investment for us, and I am incredibly excited about it,” said Harry Norman, Event Director of the London Vet Show. “We’ve made a big push to make the show more sustainable, starting with one of the most iconic features – the pink carpet. To put it in perspective, we order over 20,000 square meters of carpet each year, so this is a very meaningful step for the event. I’d like to extend a massive thank you to BOVA UK for supporting us in this investment, this change wouldn’t be possible without you.”

“At BOVA UK, we are incredibly proud to support the London Vet Show in this inspiring step towards sustainability,” said Lizzie Barnard, Global Head of Marketing and Sustainability at BOVA UK. “It’s initiatives like the Rewind carpet that underscore how each choice we make can contribute to a more sustainable future. We’re all in this together, and every step toward reducing our environmental impact has a significant effect.”
