How We Build Sustainably
Sustainability isn’t a finish line. It’s built into every decision we make, from the first material specification to the final element stored for its next outing. Here’s how that looks across four areas of our operation.
Great design shouldn’t cost the earth. From award-winning reusable stands to certified eco-conscious practices, our work demonstrates that sustainability and memorable experiences can coexist, leaving a lasting impact on both people and the planet.
Modular Stands & Tensioned Fabrics
Single-use wooden frames are one of the events industry’s biggest contributors to landfill. We don’t build that way.
Our modular systems, built on Aluvision and Octanorm frameworks, use standardised aluminium components that reconfigure, scale and reassemble across different shows and footprints. PVC-free tensioned fabrics create ceilings, walls, lightboxes and banners with no loss of visual impact and a lifespan that stretches across multiple events.
Individual elements, from furniture and graphics to structural panels and hanging banners, are designed from the outset to move between projects. The stand changes. The components carry forward.
Waste Reduction
MDF is one of the events industry’s most persistent landfill problems. We reuse or recycle it as standard. Every material that leaves a show, paper, cardboard, plastics, metals, is sorted and stored rather than skipped.
Hazardous materials including batteries, electronics and chemicals are disposed of in line with relevant environmental regulations. It’s not an afterthought. It’s part of the build plan from day one.
Local Warehouses & Storage
Reuse only works if you have somewhere to put things. We have 3,000m² of storage facilities within 15 minutes of Fira de Barcelona,, plus local hubs across EMEA and Dubai.
Every reusable element, from structural components and furniture to graphics and AV equipment, is catalogued, maintained and ready for its next show. Where possible, materials are repurposed in-house rather than replaced. Nothing leaves our inventory without a next life planned for it.
Digital & Tech Solutions
We build podcast studios, video production spaces and theatres directly into exhibition stands. One live event. Multiple digital outputs. A fraction of the travel footprint.
Digital integration cuts printed materials, eliminates physical samples and replaces traditional displays with signage, QR codes and interactive screens.
Beyond the show floor, digital platforms handle registration, networking and post-event data, stripping out the paperwork and logistics that traditional event management drags along.
Reusable Materials
We minimise single-use items like plastic cups and plates and instead choose recyclable materials such as cardboard, wood, bamboo. Furthermore we opt for washable and reusable dinnerware such as Stainless and ceramic.
By following this practice, it not only reduces waste, but gradually lowers cost and demonstrates ours and our clients collective commitment to sustainability.
