  • Choose reusable, sustainable materials for giveaways and corporate gifts instead of plastic bags.
  • Reuse bespoke elements of your stand and hire furniture to minimize resource consumption.

  • We provide digital versions of sales or sponsorship brochures for easy access and to reduce paper waste.
  • During the event, we utilize digital boards for the Big 5 Talks agenda instead of printed agendas, contributing to paper waste reduction.
  • A lead retrieval app replaces printed business cards, allowing exhibitors to scan and track leads received at their stand.

Catering used at the event:

  • Any remaining food is distributed to workers or venue staff to minimize food waste.

Carpet for the event:

  • We utilize reusable carpet for stands, and the venue is permanently carpeted, contributing to waste reduction efforts.

Plants for the event:

  • We choose native plants over fresh-cut flowers that are usually provided by the venue itself, and in place were suppliers are used, they are returned for proper storage respectively.

Shell scheme stand:

  • The shell scheme materials are reused by the contractor for other shows, resulting in no waste while promoting resource efficiency.

Signage structures:

  • Wooden structures for signage are reused by the contractor for other shows, promoting resource efficiency.

Other wood and metal waste:

  • We ensure the reuse or recycling of wood and metal waste by the end of the event to reduce landfill contributions.
