2025 Sustainability Hub Activations
Greenbuild highlights what the Los Angeles community is doing to improve it’s city and support those in need. The Sustainability Hub, located on the Expo Floor is where you could help us interact, learn and celebrate local businesses and their efforts!
Share what you are doing to be more sustainable with #Greenbuild. We can’t wait to hear from you!
Farm to Fork Activation
We invite you to help us pack fresh food boxes filled with rescued fruits and vegetables for local Los Angeles families facing food insecurity.
How it works:
- Grab some fresh produce
- Add shelf-stable donations from our partners
- Write a note of encouragement to include in each box
Each box packed helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, supports community wellness, and contributes to a more circular, equitable food system.
Soap Saves Lives
Join us to assemble "Soap Saves Lives" hygiene kits—filled with recycled soap and essential hygiene items—for women experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles.
Here’s how to get involved:
- Build a kit with soap, shampoo, toothpaste & more
- Personalize it with a note of care and encouragement
- All kits will be donated directly to the Downtown Women’s Center, an organization at the forefront of supporting and empowering women in need throughout Los Angeles.
Greening Up Our Host Community
Follow the steps below to bring your most sustainable self to Greenbuild.
Bring Your Reusable Vessel
Filtered water stations will be available throughout the convention center. Don’t forget your coffee cups and if you don’t have them check out reusable travel silverware!
Go Green in Your Hotel Room
Be sure to take advantage of towel and sheet reuse initiatives that may be offered by your hotel. Don’t forget to turn off all lights and electronics when you leave your room each day!
Sustainable Transportation
All the hotels in the room block are within walking distance the convention center. If walking or biking to your destination isn’t an option, check out the Los Angeles public transportation system to get around the city.
Think Before You Throw
Waste to landfill results in a significant carbon impact. While we do our very best to reduce the amount of single use disposable items at the event, some are just unavoidable. Do your part by really checking out the waste bins onsite.
There will be a three bin waste system throughout the Los Angeles Convention Center where you can easily throw recyclable materials and compostable materials into clearly marked bins.
Carbon Offset
We know climate change is having serious effects on communities across the world. For the last 10 years, Greenbuild has offset all scope 1, scope 2 and a portion of scope 3 carbon emissions related to the production of the event. How you can participate:
Make sure to purchase your offset when you register (it’s $30 towards healing our planet)!
