Sustainability

Sustainable, Re-useable, Recyclable

SD Displays are committed to sustainability and waste reduction in all that we create and build for our customers. Every element is designed to be reused, repurposed and ultimately fully recycled at end of life. 

We're focused on creating high-impact exhibition stands and displays, and supplying poster boards and shell scheme hire, with minimal environmental impact. 

Our business model has always been low-waste as our display solutions have a long life and can be reconfigured, repaired and reused multiple times.

Our hire model supports this for our customers, enabling storage and re-use of framework, graphics, displays, flooring and furniture between events.

Now, through the consideration and selection of environmentally friendly materials, sustainable partners and processes, we are continually and consciously improving our sustainability without compromising on quality or increasing customer costs.

...because great events shouldn't cost the earth

  Greener Event Solutions

  • 1. Environmentally Friendly Exhibition Stands

    We use the T3 system for our exhibition stand builds. This structural framework is made from lightweight aluminium designed to have a long life and produce zero waste as the frames and components are 100% recyclable.


    We have also supplied pop-up stands made from 100% recycled cardboard or material from recycled marine waste.


    Our modular designs enable component parts to be easily adapted and reconfigured for multiple uses on different size and orientation of stand builds, and the graphics can be continually rebranded.  Our bespoke builds use timber from certified sustainable sources.

  • 2. Recyclable Poster & Display Boards

    Our display boards are made from Dufaylite - a honeycomb paper core made from 100% recyclable & recycled material, sourced from sustainably managed forests.


    The central core is then covered in a hardwearing fabric and framed with recyclable aluminium.


    The boards last for many decades and can be repaired if damaged. At the end of life there is minimal waste as the frames and core are fully recyclable.

  • 3. Eco-friendly Graphics & Print Materials

    We use fabric graphics on all our exhibition stand builds, which are re-useable and recyclable.


    We are continually sourcing Eco-friendly alternatives to traditional print materials containing non-recyclable plastic, to offer sustainable quality alternatives for our bespoke builds.


    We supply a range of 100% recyclable Eco banner & display options with a fabric sleeve that slides over a portable aluminium frame. The Eco Sleeve® range also have SEAQUAL fabric graphics made from 100% recycled plastic marine waste.

  • 4. Recyclable Carpet & Flooring

    We supply eco-friendly event carpet and flooring that is latex-free and fully recyclable.


    We stock reusable raised flooring that has a long-life and is available to hire, before being recycled at end of life.


    Post-use event carpet and flooring can be ground into premium PP pellets that are then repurposed in the plastics industry, a cradle-cradle solution.

  • 5. Sustainable Events

    Due to the temporary pop-up nature of exhibitions, display and stand builds have traditionally have been seen as disposable.


    But it doesn't have to be this way and we are working with exhibition venues and partners to support sustainability and waste-management initiatives with our customer installations and builds and proposing greener otions to our clients during the design stage.
