B.6.b. Graphics & Signage
Highly Recommended Practices
Plan the design phase efficiently to reduce multiple prints due to design changes or errors and ensure signage size is correct. Adopt a continuous improvement approach to setting and achieving goals. This applies to: Production of new graphics and signage on a minimum of 35% recyclable substrate or of recycled materials as a first step to phase out use of foam core, PVC materials, or polystyrene. Use environmentally friendly inks like water-based products and avoid polluting products like solvents at a minimum of 35%. ☐ ☐

Use email and web-based communication to minimize paper flow. Encourage customers to reuse materials, such as prints, multiple times.
☐ ☐
Recommended Practices
Reuse or recycle: Fascia and overhead signage including branding, fascia, company logo on top of the exhibit structure. Graphics and decorative items including exhibit graphics that are either wall mounted or floor standing (not overhead) and any other decorative items such as plants and flowers. Use floral arrangements which include native plants, low-water intensive plant-life and reusable centerpieces. Use graphics on fabric material used at other shows and which contain at least 50% recycled content. Not use items such as balloons and confetti. Biodegradable alternatives do not necessarily result in waste reduction and their use should be avoided. ☐ ☐

Tip: Companies MAY use digital signage (LED preferred) and direct-to-substrate printers where possible. However, consider the lifespan of the digital signage and the environmental impact of its production. If there is an alternative with less environmental impact, it should be used.
