Exhibit Structures
Managing the Environmental Impacts of Exhibit Structures Supports Sustainable Development Goal #12 Responsible Consumption and Production.
Highly Recommended Practices
Adopt a continuous improvement approach to setting and achieving goals. This applies to:
☐
Exhibit and meeting room structures, walls, and ceilings should be designed to be either reduced, reused, or recycled. Reuse or recycle of display facilities including showcases, lightboxes and shelving. Reuse of wood from other events when renting exhibits comprised of wood. Reuse or repurpose wood from other events within manufacturing, warehouse facilities, and administrative offices, for exhibit building structures, pallets or crating. Control the volume of purchased paints, coatings, and glue that have low volatile organic compounds (VOC).

Use certified forestry-based materials (such as wood and bamboo) that are certified by Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), or other sustainably managed forest resources.
Recommended Practices
☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐
Rent exhibit structures using standard inventory materials used throughout the year. Incorporate the use of modular exhibit systems, wherever possible. Use high-quality products to ensure longevity, especially for reusable materials. Use acrylic paint derived from plant pigments (not petrol) when using paint for construction and maintenance. Do not use sealants, coatings or adhesives to maintain the exhibit. Include the above environmentally preferable requirements in vendor contracts. Tip: Ensure that wood waste is separated from other waste and sent for recycling when using wood in the composition of exhibit/display and meeting room structure fabrication and construction.
