At Plastics and Rubber Indonesia we are committed to delivering a sustainable event for both exhibitors and attendees.

Disposable, single-use stands account for around 80% of the total waste from our event, which is why we are launching the Better Stands Programme.

Better Stands is about moving away from the use of disposable stands to not only vastly reduce waste, but also improve the ease, safety and sustainability of the exhibitor experience at our events.

We believe that sustainable, reusable stand options offer a better way forward for the events industry. As an exhibitor you can work with your Exhibitor Appointed Contractor to design a stand that fits this criteria.

If you’re unsure of where to start, Consult our official contractors for help when choosing a reusable stand.

As Part of Our Commitment,

we are focusing on:

As an Exhibitor

  • Ensure your stand is designed so that its structure will be used again by either yourself or by your contractors
  • For your travel and transport, choose the most sustainable option possible for your journey to and from the event. Consolidate your shipments and use logistic companies that have sustainability credentials
  • When purchasing promotional items, consider the amount you order, the environmental credentials of the materials they are made from, as well as whether they are useful giveaways that will be used long after the event is over

As a Visitor

  • Consider how you’ll get to the event and if you can avoid air travel or take lower carbon transport
  • Recycle your waste onsite and in your hotel where possible
  • Consider opting for vegetarian and vegan food options and avoid food waste
  • Only take the give-aways or brochures you need and will use, consider if there are digital alternatives
  • Consider the environmental credentials of the hotel when deciding where to stay
