By eliminating reliance on non-renewable energy sources, we significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the event. This initiative aligns with our broader goal of making the exhibition industry more environmentally responsible.


Beyond powering the event, we encourage exhibitors and participants to adopt energy-efficient practices, from lighting choices to eco-conscious booth designs. By prioritizing renewable energy, we create a cleaner, greener environment for all attendees and contribute to a more sustainable future for the industry.

Moving towards sustainable stands
What is a disposable stand?

A disposable stand is a structure designed for single use, often built with materials that are discarded after an event. These stands contribute to unnecessary waste and increased environmental impact, making them less sustainable for long-term exhibition strategies.

What is a reusable stand?

A reusable stand is constructed using modular systems that allow for multiple uses in different configurations. These stands are either owned by exhibitors or rented from contractors, reducing waste and promoting sustainability by minimizing the need for new materials at each event.

How can you make a difference?

To support sustainability, work with contractors who use modular, reusable stand systems. Specify in your tender that stand materials should be repurposed or stored for future use, ensuring minimal waste after the exhibition while reducing environmental impact.

Why choose a non-disposable stand?

Opting for a non-disposable stand not only lowers costs but also aligns with eco-friendly business practices. Reusable stands reduce landfill waste, enhance brand sustainability, and demonstrate corporate responsibility by prioritizing environmentally conscious exhibition solutions.

Eco-friendly better stands!
