Leading Trade Show Exhibit Designer Launches Line of “Green” Exhibits

Exhibit Edge, a leading trade show exhibit design, fabrication, and consulting agency serving the Washington, D.C. metro area has launched a line of environmentally friendly ‘green’ trade show exhibits. A first in the industry, these exhibits will benefit the many environmentally conscious companies seeking to advertise using sustainable and reusable methods.

Exhibit Edge’s “responsible” line of exhibits are fabricated from sustainable, ‘earth-friendly’ materials that contain recycled content, are non-toxic, and come from renewable sources. “From the fabrics to the packing crates, we considered every detail imaginable in designing this line of exhibits. We think our customers will be very excited with the product” says Bev Gray, CEO of Exhibit Edge. In addition to the materials being ‘green’, all materials are also completely recyclable when the exhibit reaches its end-of-life.

Every aspect of the trade show exhibit, from the ground up, is designed to be eco-friendly. The structure or ‘bones’ of the site, aluminum extrusions, contain 75% post consumer recycled content. The fabric graphic panels and booth canopies contain 60% post consumer recycled content. The carpet is unbelievably made from 100% recycled soda bottles. The LED lighting used in the booth consumes 1/10th of the amount of energy a traditional halogen light uses and yet lasts up to 30 times longer. And the shipping cases are sturdily made from 60% recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) content.

In addition to using many recycled materials and environmentally friendly products in the exhibits, they are also designed to have an overall low carbon footprint through a smart balance of materials, shipping, drayage, labor, and repeat usage. Through the extensive use of fabric and aluminum throughout the desgns, the weight is significantly reduced which drastically reduces the shipping burden and drayage expenses. The carbon footprint of the typical trade show exhibit has been reduced drastically through smart material choices, lightweight but sturdy designs, and intelligent accessory selections.

The new line of exhibits include booth sizes of 10’x10’, 10’x20’, and island style layouts. Exhibit Edge’s ‘Responsible’ exhibits are immediately available for purchase, rental, and customization.
