Promote reusable, zero waste stands

Promote exhibitors and contractors to use reusable, zero waste stands

Speak to your contractors to see what strides they are making when it comes to sustainability. Many have completed the ESSA Sustainability module and will be able to advise on the best use of their products and services.

Be aware that not all is as it seems with some materials. While metalwork is reuseable and modular options a good solution, wood is also reuseable, often with a longer lifespan than alternatives and can also store carbon.

Informa's Better Stand Programme is a good starting point as is ESSA Accredited.
