A traditional meters custom build stand would require a 7.5 Tons Heavy duty vehicule and 7-8 men to transport and build, which results in a lot of carbon emissions and hassle According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the trade show industry is the second largest producer of waste after the construction industry. The average two-day event can produce as much waste as a family of four produces in 15 years.

9 3. THE 3R OF ENVIRONMENT Glass has been found in perfect condition after 4,000 years in the earth.

10 3. THE 3R OF ENVIRONMENT Avoiding the use of wood, especially from unsustainable sources, helps to prevent deforestation whereas using lightweight aluminum helps to reduce transportation loads and labor.

11 3. THE 3R OF ENVIRONMENT We are quickly running out of space. It's time to learn the three R's of the environment: reduce, reuse, recycle: REDUCE coprocessing Lowering the amout of waste produced REUSE Using materials repeatedly RECYCLE Using materials to make new products RECOVERY Recovery energy from waste LANDFILL Save disposal to landfill

12 3. THE 3R OF ENVIRONMENT REDUCE Reducing the amount of waste you produce is the best way to help the environment. REUSE Instead of throwing things away, try to find ways to use them again. RECYCLE Recycled items are put through a process that makes it possible to create new products out of the materials from the old ones.
