At Informa Markets we partner with trusted exhibitors and contractors to create lasting, sustainable designs that go beyond single-use displays.
For the bronze status, the reusable materials include the stand structure and walls, platform, furniture and equipment, and lighting.
For the silver status, the reusable materials include the stand structure and walls, platform, furniture and equipment, lighting, fascia and overhead signage, rigged structure, ceiling, and display facilities.
All space-only stands are independently verified at the end of the event, taking into account stand structure and walls, platforms, furniture and equipment, lighting, fascia and overhead signage, rigged structures, ceiling, display facilities, graphics and decorative items, and floor covering.
Disposable stands cause environmental, health & safety and wellbeing issues onsite at our events. Across Informa in 2019, disposable stands equated to over 80% of our total waste generated at events. Proactively addressing this practice globally, at events like The Autumn Fair is key to creating a more sustainable events industry.
When we talk about disposable stands we mean single use, disposable stands made from raw materials onsite, such as chipboard, particleboard or low-density fiberboard (LDF). The quality of finish is often also compromised due to working time pressures.
A non-disposable/reusable stand is constructed using materials designed to be used multiple times. There are almost endless variations of multiple use stands to suit every size and desired appearance and as the cost of these stands is generally lower than for disposable stands this helps to reduce outlay and provide a better investment. It could be:
• Frame and fabric
• Wood stock panels
• Aluminium modular
• Cardboard flat pack
• Exhibitor owner OR rented
• And many other altneratives!
We strive to make our events more sustainable and support the industry in its efforts. By connecting professionals with essential networks and knowledge, we help address key sustainability challenges. Learn more about our initiatives here.
