Exhibit sustainably at Vitafoods Europe

Disposable stands cause environmental, health and safety and wellbeing issues onsite at our events. Across Informa in 2019, disposable stands/booths equated to over 80% of our total waste generated at events. Proactively addressing this practice globally, at events like Vitafoods Europe 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). Quality of finish is often 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!

These are already compliant with our sustainability measures. Better Stands is targeted at space only builds, which historically create the most waste.

Sustainability is increasingly important to the global nutraceuticals community. Vitafoods recognizes the importance of driving sustainability within our events and across the broader industry. We aim to make our event even more responsible and play a role in helping the nutraceutical and functional food market improve its sustainability by connecting people with the networks and knowledge they need to solve these challenges.
