A sustainable future
The Better Stands vision
We aim to eliminate disposable stands from our events by 2030 - an ambitious but vital goal for sustainability. To support this, we've introduced Better Stands tiers for space-only exhibitors. We recommend all space-only exhibitors achieve at least Bronze status by 2025. Now is the time to discuss sustainable stand solutions with your contractor.
Bronze

For the bronze status, the reusable materials include the stand structure and walls, platform, furniture and equipment, and lighting.

Silver

For the silver status, the reusable materials include the stand structure and walls, platform, furniture and equipment, lighting, fascia and overhead signage, rigged structure, ceiling, and display facilities.

Gold

All space-only stands are independently verified at the end of the event, taking into account stand structure and walls, platforms, furniture and equipment, lighting, fascia and overhead signage, rigged structures, ceiling, display facilities, graphics and decorative items, and floor covering.

FAQ
Some of your most common queries answered. Can't find what you're looking for?
What is the "Better Stands" initiative and how would this benefit me?

Disposable stands cause environmental, health and safety and wellbeing issues onsite at our events. Across Informa in 2019, disposable stands equated to over 80% of our total waste generated at events. Proactively addressing this practice globally, at events like Jewellery Arabia is key to creating a more sustainable events industry.

What is a disposable stand?

When we talk about disposable stands we mean single use, disposable booths made from raw materials onsite, such as chipboard, particleboard or low-density fiberboard (LDF). The quality of finish is often also compromised due to working time pressures.

What is a reusable / non-disposable stand?

A non-disposable/reusable stand is constructed using materials designed to be used multiple times. There are almost endless variations of multiple use stands to suit every size and desired appearance and as the cost of these stands is generally lower than for disposable stands this helps to reduce outlay and provide a better investment. It could be:

• Frame and fabric

• Wood stock panels

• Aluminium modular

• Cardboard flat pack

• Exhibitor owner OR rented

• Plus many others!
