Sustainability Trends
On the final day of EuroShop 2020, the retail trade fair in Düsseldorf, the Scan Display team scouted the last few halls to see what's happening on the sustainability front and they found that this year there has been an increase in sustainability messaging with many displays using 'plastic-free' and 'eco-friendly' labels.
At previous EuroShop shows, companies said they were sustainable, but their messaging now goes further and explains and quantifies their sustainability - it states that they've used PET materials, less energy, renewable energy, etc..
There are many stands now made of raw untreated wood. There are also a growing number of stands that use the existing exhibition hall flooring, reducing their use of materials. Sustainability has become an important part of the show, with exhibitors showcasing in a meaningful way what they are doing to make our industries more sustainable.
