ERA, the European Rental Association, is calling for equipment rental companies, associations or suppliers to showcase their sustainable rental projects or initiatives at its upcoming European Rental Awards ceremony by entering the award for the Best Sustainable Rental Project of the Year. The deadline for submissions is 28 February 2020.

ERA promotes the shift from ’ownership of goods’ to ’access to goods, reducing resources and making better use of equipment throughout its lifecycle. Environmental responsibility and climate change are issues that have permeated general consciousness in the last decade, and the rental industry is a key player in the transition towards a sustainable economy.
