It all starts with material knowledge
When you want to design a sustainable exhibition stand, as a client, you play an invaluable role in the design process. To achieve a sustainable end result, you need not only a designer with thorough knowledge of materials. You will soon realize that throughout the decision-making process, you also need to be conscious of the properties of the materials you choose. The designers at Aktual have the necessary expertise and are eager to make a difference together with you.
Curious about the most environmentally friendly material options for your stand? Or perhaps you want to go further and develop a complete vision around the sustainability of your exhibition stand, including material origins, quality, and possible reuse options? Our designers are ready for the challenge! Together, we make conscious choices, explore how to minimize waste, and make your exhibition stand the epitome of sustainability at the trade show.

Reusable timber stands: Sustainability at the core
Whether it’s a standard modular exhibition stand or a high-end stand with challenging design aspects, our designers always consider reusability with timber construction. With our self-developed timber construction systems, we assemble exhibition stands multiple times and opt for FSC-certified wood.
For example, with Terumo, a global player in medical equipment and pharmaceutical products, we adapt an existing timber stand to fit the available space at new exhibition locations—whether 15 or 60 m². The company even achieved ‘level Gold’ in the Better Stands program. View the project here.
System stands: modular and sustainable
At Aktual, we also focus on reusable systems such as Aluvision Exhibits and OCTANORM-Germany, stand construction systems that can be practically reused endlessly. While creativity may be somewhat limited with an aluminum system stand due to the system’s advanced standardization, we always achieve a perfectly strong and striking stand concept.
The exhibition stand of real estate service office CBRE is a great example. Personalized canvases in the company’s branding and the unique green moss wall make the stand distinctive and eye-catching. View CBRE’s aluminum system stand.
Sustainable flooring: A conscious choice
The flooring of your exhibition stand is a concrete example and an important visual component where we can make a conscious material choice together. Vinyl or carpet are common materials with numerous alternatives available. For example, we use 100% recyclable carpet from Rewind. View photos from the Canon photodays as an example.
There are also convenient click systems that can be used as flooring, allowing you to consciously choose renewable materials such as cork or bamboo.
