Green exhibition elements | The Planner

Designers are incorporating products that can be reused and modified to suit any exhibition or event in the quest to create more sustainable exhibition stands. Not only does this save time and money, but it also reduces the environmental impact of building new structures.

โ€œWe have seen an increase in demand for sustainable stand-builds from our clients. The introduction of our Modulbox units, the Mo5 units and the reusable Wing banner have all helped with these eco-friendly designs. The products are gaining in popularity for events, exhibitions and even pop-up activations,โ€ says Justin Hawes, managing director of Scan Display.

Hawes adds that itโ€™s also important that companies consider local products and businesses in order to reduce the carbon emissions associated with transporting a product.

Scan Displayโ€™s wing banner was the first banner to be manufactured in South Africa and it comes with a lifetime guarantee. It is reusable and there are no maintenance costs involved.

The Modulbox and the Mo5 are also manufactured locally by Scan Display. Both of these reusable solutions can be easily branded, transported and set up.

The Modulbox unit is cube-shaped with easily-branded side panels. It can be effortlessly moved to a variety of venues for a single activation. It can also be linked with other Modulbox units to create a larger structure.

The Mo5 is a flat-packed unit that is ideal for use at events as a registration kiosk, as a pop-up retail store or for brand activations.

โ€œBoth of these solutions have proven their value over and over again for a variety of campaigns, and are great for clients who want to minimise the environmental impact of events,โ€ says Hawes.
