How To Have A Green Friendly Trade Show

Trade shows or exhibitions are mainly done to promote a business, product or a brand. To do this effectively, exhibitors opt for different ways to make the trade show stand look more attractive. But while thinking about your business, you cannot take the nature or environment for granted. An environment friendly trade show will always enhance your company's brand image and eventually the sales. So, what steps should you take to make a green friendly trade show? Following are some tips which can help you to solve this problem.

1) Use Earth Friendly Materials
If you want to make a green friendly trade show then you should always use certain materials which will not hamper the environment. You can use bamboo because it is a renewable and agroforestry product and at the same time it is the fastest growing plant on the planet. It is a good replacement for wood and metal as it has a rapid cycle of maturity of 3 to 4 years and it also provides a component which is a balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

1) Consider the Longevity
Before selecting a trade show stand, you should first determine the longevity of the show. If you are planning for a long-term show then you should pick such materials that don't degrade easily or weather away quickly. If you choose a stand which doesn't have longevity then you might need to face many difficulties. Again, at the same time, if you are planning a trade show for a short period of time then you should use those materials which can be easily recycled or reused.

· Prefer Recycled Materials
While making trade show stands always try to use recycled materials. To make sure that it sustains for a long time, try to use recycled materials or rapidly renewable and reclaimed material as much as possible. The entire process of recycling aluminium does not take much time as it does to create a from aluminium ore. This is because after you are done with your exhibition, it can again be used for a different purpose.

- Print Green
While using banners or signs you can use water-based inks to print on cotton fabric or may be any biodegradable plastic, so that it does not harm the environment or the nature. You can use water-based adhesives, biodegradable laminates, and recycled papers for making brochures and other promotional materials.

· Prefer Using Eco-friendly Accessories for Flooring and Racks
A trade show stand is not the only thing that is required for trade shows. Certain other things are also included in this like racks, flooring and much more. For these cases also you can opt for bamboo flooring and literature racks to make the show an eco-friendly one. You can even use rubber flooring as these recycled tires make a comfortable and lively flooring option. It is advisable to use low or no VOC (volatile organic compound) finishes to reduce exposure to the harmful chemicals.

· Hire Eco-friendly Suppliers
While hiring a supplier for the trade show accessories make sure that they offer green friendly options like recycling in place and waste reduction programs.

All these above-mentioned steps can be followed to have a green friendly trade show.
