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.

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.

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!

Sustainability is a growing priority in the global nutraceuticals community, and Jewellery Arabia is committed to leading the charge. We strive to make our events more sustainable and support the industry in its efforts. By connecting professionals with essential networks and knowledge, we help address key sustainability challenges. Learn more about our initiatives here.
