What are Green Trade Show Displays Made From?

According to a study by Exhibitor Magazine, 66 percent of exhibitors are turning to “green” display systems because their environmental and social causes in general have increased. It is because of these exhibitors that the trade show industry is starting to turn around and become less known for being the 2nd most wasteful industry.

Not only will you be helping the environment, but green practices will enhance your company’s image. The following materials will be found in most green trade show exhibits.

  • Recycled aluminum will use up to 95 percent less energy than creating brand new aluminum.
  • Wood/plastic composite come in a variety of colors, yet are still made of sawdust and plastic trash.
  • Solvent-based printing has become more eco-friendly, while still giving your graphics a high-quality, stunning look.
  • Graphics made from recycled material are the way to go. You can still get the professional look while becoming less wasteful.
  • LED lighting uses up to 90 percent less energy than the traditional trade show lighting options.
  • Bamboo is rapidly renewable and environmentally safe.
  • A lightweight frame will reduce freight fuel and shipping costs.
  • More.
