- # Sustainable transition
Act different!
From carbon footprint to action: Exhibit Group is structuring its transition with concrete, tested solutions.
Meeting the environmental challenge
As a manufacturer, Exhibit Group has been actively committed for many years to reducing its environmental impact through :
- a social approach,
- a eco-responsible production (raw material sourcing, eco-design, French manufacturing, logistics optimisation, waste management, etc.)
- and a upgrade offer used media.
Following the results of our Carbon footprint Print, we have defined our Climate Action Plan around 4 major priorities (Find out more), including strengthening our Responsible Purchasing Policy by involving our suppliers and partners.
Thanks to this in-depth work, we can now offer you a complete range of eco-responsible materialsOur products are tried and tested to help you reduce your own environmental impact.
A new 100% Green range
This commitment obliges us to propose solutions that require fewer resources to design and will leave fewer traces for future generations.
The materials we use are chosen according to three main criteria: quality, environmental impact and, of course, aesthetic appeal.
This approach enables us to offer you products eco-responsible, innovative and differentiating. And because sustainability also has to be desirable, these alternatives naturally have great practical and aesthetic qualities.
Nature of materials & environmental impact
High environmental impact
Conventional products
Presence of fossil substances harmful to the environment
Recycled products
From recycled materials (production offcuts, recycling, etc.)
Green products
Responsible and biodegradable
Limited environmental impact
Eco-responsible tarpaulins and textiles
90%
...eco-responsible textiles in our range.
It's a sure bet!
We are now proud to be able to offer almost all our tarpaulin and textile products in recycled and/or green versions (PVC-free, Oeko-Tex, Ecocert Greenlife, etc.).
Textiles with a reduced carbon footprint
Choosing textile media is an effective way of reducing the environmental footprint of large-format communications. Our eco-friendly canvases are ideal for retail, outdoor décor and monumental signage.
- Textiles are lighter than tarpaulins
- Require fewer resources to manufacture
- Easy transport and handling
- Low environmental impact treatment (PVC-free, formaldehyde-free, phthalate-free, formaldehyde-free)
- Recyclables
Polyester, almost infinitely recyclable
Textile sublimation requires polyester fabrics. This fibre is not natural, but has the advantage of being highly recyclable. This 'circular' production method in no way alters the quality of the end product, and helps to control and limit the resources required.
Eco-responsible films & adhesives
In search of new solutions.
This is one of the most complicated categories to convert. We have carried out extensive tests and continue to work with suppliers to offer effective solutions, particularly based on recycled polypropylene. The results are promising.
40%
That's the proportion of eco-responsible adhesives in our range, and it's constantly increasing.
This category represents a real technical challenge for manufacturers: conventional adhesives and liners contain solvents, glues and coatings that are polluting by nature. For your event signage, window dressing, stand and decoration projects, we have a range of innovative green adhesives and associated eco-friendly varnishing solutions to extend their life.
Adhesives
healthy & ecological
For applications indoors or in areas open to the public, plasticiser-free films that are both environmentally friendly and harmless to health are increasingly in demand.
Alternatives to PVC film, such as polypropylene, avoid the formation of toxic products when they decompose or burn, making them easier to integrate into a second life cycle.
Polypropylene (PP), the alternative to monomeric PVC vinyls
This thermoplastic polymer, one of the most neutral plastics, contains only two elements: carbon and hydrogen. PP contains no additives that are harmful to the environment. As a result, it can be recycled rather than sent to landfill.
Eco-responsible rigid supports
80%
...of our rigid supports are eco-responsible
Very encouraging results.
We have listed a wide range of recycled and eco-designed rigid panels (Reach, Rohs, recyclable...), effective alternatives to PVC and aluminium composite substrates.
Rigid panels have long been a staple at trade fairs, where they have traditionally been used, and now represent a major challenge for the events industry. Convincing PVC-free alternatives that can be recycled and recycled after use are being developed for signage, stands, windows and decoration.
Towards ever more sustainable events!
To avoid the use of traditional, particularly polluting PVC rigid, we offer you eco-responsible solutions.
Thanks to our panels made from recycled production waste, polypropylene and FSC-certified cellulose, your displays, shop windows, POS advertising, stands and decorations for events and long-term use will be more sustainable.
Cardboard: the champion of recyclable materials
Lightweight and robust, cardboard is largely made from renewable resources: sawmill chips or prunings from forestry operations.
At the end of its useful life, cardboard can be reused up to 10 times. Which makes it one of the best recycled materials.
The plus: For your stands and event spaces, opt for furniture made from recycled cardboard: it's particularly light, strong and very easy to assemble.
