Sustainable exhibition stand

An eco-designed stand in certified materials, built to be re-erected show after show, that proves your CSR commitments instead of contradicting them.

The real problem

Is your stand telling the opposite story to your CSR policy?

Three days of exhibiting, one full skip

Glued panels, PVC, melamine board: the disposable stand is cut apart with a grinder and dumped after every show.

A CSR report contradicted in public

Your company publishes its commitments while your stand states the opposite in front of clients, prospects and competitors.

Green claims without a shred of proof

A stand labelled eco with no certificate, no traceability and no recycling stream: greenwashing always backfires on the brand.

What it changes for you

What a CSR-minded stand builder changes for you

Your stand no longer ends in a skip

A glue-free demountable structure and reusable panels: the stand goes into storage, not into waste, ready for the next edition.

Your CSR story finally holds up

Your CSR report and your stand at last tell the same story: your commitments become visible exactly where your clients are watching.

Proof, not promises

FSC/PEFC certificates, material data sheets, recycling streams: every claim is documented for your reporting. Zero greenwashing.

A budget that works for years

The structure returns show after show while only the graphics change: the cost per edition falls with every reuse.

Budget transparency

Sustainable exhibition stand cost: the budget lines

An eco-designed stand is priced line by line, like any bespoke project: allow between €500 and €1,300 per m² depending on surface and finish. The slight premium on certified materials is paid back through reuse. To benchmark these ranges against the market, see our guide to exhibition stand cost.

LineWhat it coversShare of budget
Eco-design & 3DLife cycle analysis, material choices, 3D model, dismantling plans10 to 15%
Certified materialsFSC/PEFC timber, recyclable aluminium, tensioned fabric, honeycomb cardboard, water-based paints30 to 40%
Workshop manufacturingGlue-free assembly, pre-build, durable finishes20 to 25%
Assembly & optimised logisticsConsolidated transport, on-site installation, clean dismantling15 to 20%
Storage & reuseWarehousing between shows, reconditioning, adaptations5 to 10%

Indicative figures, varying with the show, the surface and the finishes. The first edition often costs slightly more than a classic stand; from the first re-erection, the cost per show drops below it.

Our method

The 5 steps of your sustainable stand

Eco-design is not an option bolted on at the end: it drives every stage, with a single project manager from brief to storage.

1

Brief & CSR objectives

We map your shows, your budget and the CSR commitments the stand must embody, responsible procurement criteria included.

2

3D eco-design

Our design office models the stand in 3D and arbitrates every choice: materials, demountability, transport, end of life.

3

Manufacturing in certified materials

The workshop assembles FSC/PEFC timber, recyclable aluminium and reusable fabrics, glue-free and with water-based paints.

4

Optimised assembly & logistics

Consolidated transport, workshop pre-build, fast installation: fewer trucks, fewer kilometres, fewer hours on site.

5

Dismantling, reuse & storage

The stand is cleanly dismantled, reconditioned and stored between shows, ready to return; at end of life, every material joins its recycling stream.

Our eco-design levers

Four levers for a genuinely sustainable stand

No need to reinvent everything: four choices concentrate most of the impact. They apply to a one-off exhibition stand as well as to a full annual show programme, and combine to fit your budget. Each lever is decided at the 3D model stage, not at dismantling time.

Reusable structure

A frame in certified timber and recyclable aluminium, assembled without glue, engineered to be re-erected show after show.

Reusable fabric graphics

Washable, reprintable tensioned fabrics: the visual identity refreshes without rebuilding the structure.

Rented furniture

Counters, seating and storage hired for the show rather than built for three days, then put back into circulation.

Honeycomb cardboard signage

Light, printable and fully recyclable, honeycomb cardboard replaces PVC for totems and short-lived signage.

Client reviews

What our clients say about us

Beyond my expectations

« It is with great confidence that I recommend the services of Decore Studio Events. I was referred to Giselle Calderon and her team for the very specific kind of event that UN conferences are. We built a relationship of trust from our very first meeting. Working with Giselle's team was a wonderful experience, and I cannot say how happy I am to have designed our first pavilion at COP. The team understood where we came from and what messages we wanted to convey to our audience, with unfailing professionalism. »

Juliette Tronchon Senior Policy and Public Affairs Specialist

Total satisfaction

« Decore Studio Events took part in organising our pavilion, a platform providing spaces for side events, networking and meetings for several organisations. Their professional team oversaw production coordination, construction supervision, organisation, logistics and support services such as streaming during the event, with a personalised service. They met our expectations with excellent quality, from concept development, design and manufacturing through to the final days of dismantling. »

Abdallah Zalatimo Managing Director · Atlantis Investment

A quality partner

« We had excellent exchanges during the preparation phase. We are delighted that our stand was built in such an aesthetic and careful way, with nearly 90% similarity to the 3D design. A wonderful, efficient, expert team offering great quality. We are honoured to work with Decore. »

Indonesia Pavilion
Yulisa Agustin Organiser · Indonesia Pavilion

A turnkey stand, zero stress

« Brief on a call, 3D concept approved within a week, flawless installation the day before the show. The team handled every detail, including last-minute adjustments on site. We doubled our leads compared to the previous edition. »

Camille R. Trade show manager · cosmetics

Best value for money in 10 years of exhibiting

« We exhibit at four shows a year. Their modular stand reconfigures to every floor space and saves us nearly 40% per edition. The workshop quality is stunning: visitors think the stand is brand new every time. »

Thomas L. Marketing director · industrial sector

They know medical congresses inside out

« Regulatory constraints, pharma guidelines, demo areas: everything was anticipated. The stand was ready twelve hours before opening and the team stayed reachable throughout the congress. Our visiting physicians loved the space. »

Sofía M. Communications manager · healthcare

A true partner, not just a supplier

« Our first international show, on a tight budget. They proposed a clever design that looked twice as big as the actual floor space. Result: three distributors signed during the show. We are going again with them next year. »

Marc D. CEO · B2B tech

Finishes worthy of a flagship store

« We had very high expectations on materials and lighting. The final result was flagship-level: perfect lacquers, precise lighting, not a cable in sight. The stand was photographed by the trade press. »

Frequently asked questions

The initial premium is small, around 5 to 10%. Across three shows, a reusable structure costs less than a disposable build repeated every time.

FSC or PEFC certified timber, low-formaldehyde panels, solvent-free printing, recycled textiles, LED lighting. We favour local production to limit transport.

We provide the material schedule, the matching certificates and an estimate of emissions avoided through reuse. These go straight into your reporting.

We take it back and sort the components: reuse of modules still in good shape, recycling of timber and metals, processing of graphics. An end-of-life summary can be issued.

Yes, renting reusable structures is the leanest option: you pay for use only, we handle storage, upkeep and refurbishment between clients.

Yes. The constraints sit in material choice and demountable design, not in aesthetics: finishes, lighting and visual presence stay at the same level.
