Sustainable Exhibits

Better Stands

Informa Markets is committed to running sustainable, socially responsible events that have a limited impact on the environment. Like all industries we are looking for ways to reduce our carbon footprint and the amount of waste our events produce. Disposable, single-use stands, which make up the bulk of a typical show floor, have a detrimental impact on the environment, both during construction and removal. Better Stands will target disposable stands replacing them with higher-quality reusable structures made with sustainable materials. To reduce environmental impact, mitigate health and safety risks and maximize build and breakdown times we have some suggestions to consider during stand design and construction.

What is encouraged?	What is discouraged?
All core elements i.e. walls, archways, counters etc. should be constructed with reusable materials e.g. system build or stock panels.	The use of MDF panels or similar.
The stand structure should be prefabricated and ready to assemble onsite.	The use of ‘other’ raw materials to construct core structural elements i.e. walls, archways, floor systems, counters etc.
Floor flats and system floors should be cut to size before coming onsite and be recyclable and/or reusable.	Construction of any stand components from single use materials.
LED lighting	The use of incandescent light bulbs.
The use of recycled carpet, Eco vinyl flooring, other floor coverings.	The use of non-recycled carpet, PVC vinyl flooring, other floorcoverings.

Additional Tips for Sustainable Exhibits:

Booth Structure:

Option 1 Multiple Use Use Forest Sustainable Certified (FSC) wood to build your booth and crates.Get creative! Design your booth with a small shipping footprint to minimize carbon emissions. Freeman’s eye-catching stretch- fabric booth designs pack up small (and light!) for shipping.

Option 2 One-time Use Rent locally from nearby Freeman offices to reduce both shipping costs and carbon emissions.

Carpet:

Option 1 Rent rather than buy carpet to save on shipping, cleaning, and storage. Freeman Classic carpet can be reused at least four times.

Option 2 Use darker-colored carpet, which is easier to reuse and recycle. Freeman Classic dark- colored carpets are made of 20-50 percent recycled content.

Shipping

• Online + before deadline = better bottom line. Take advantage of early-bird pricing and consolidate shipping when ordering supplies.
• Choose reusable shipping padding. Avoid packing peanuts and foam plastic materials that never decompose.
• Ship early. Use the 30-day policy to ship materials to the Freeman advance warehouse.

Graphics

Option 1 Multiple Use. Print on a durable substrate without dates, event names, or locations.

Option 2 One-time Use. Print on 100 percent recyclable materials like Freeman Honeycomb and Smartbuild Eco, which are just as cost-effective as PVC.

Energy

• Use Energy Star-rated equipment for audio-visual equipment and monitors.
• Power down. Turn off equipment at the end of each day.
• Light up your booth with CFLs, LEDs, or other energy-efficient lighting.

Train Your Team

Educate your installation and dismantling teams about recycling and donation processes.

Outbound Shipping

• Pack in, pack out. Leave no traces on show site.
• Join a caravan. If you’re shipping directly to another show, ask Freeman Transportation about joining a caravan to your next show.

• Donate the rest. Ask the Freeman Exhibitors Services desk about local donation programs.
