Design To Print Leads the Charge in Sustainable Tradeshows with Groundbreaking Use of Recycled Materials

6/19/2024
ST GEORGE, UT – In a groundbreaking move for the tradeshow industry, known for its lavish displays yet often criticized for its environmental footprint, Design To Print has set a new standard in sustainability. At a recent tradeshow in the southeast, the company showcased an impressive use of their innovative Recycled Grey Back (RGB) material across 500,000 square feet of exhibition space.

The RGB fabric, weighing in at 9,200 pounds, is not just any material; it's a testament to Design To Print's commitment to the environment. Crafted from plastic bottles reclaimed from the ocean, the use of RGB material not only prevented these plastics from polluting our waters but also from entering the traditional production cycle.

The environmental stewardship doesn't stop post-event. The RGB fabric is then introduced into Design To Print's unique downcycling program, ensuring that none of the materials end up in landfills. This initiative is projected to save an estimated 20,000 pounds of material from becoming waste, with the potential for even greater savings through ongoing recycling efforts.

This single tradeshow's impact is significant, but the implications for the industry are even more so. If adopted industry-wide, this practice could dramatically reduce the accumulation of waste in landfills nationwide.

Leading the way with their SCOPE certification, Design To Print is not just adhering to global recycling standards but is actively maintaining a sustainable material chain of custody. This certification is more than an accolade; it's a promise to the future.

The southeast tradeshow is a shining example of what's possible when innovation meets environmental responsibility. Design To Print is calling on the entire tradeshow industry to follow suit and join the movement towards a more sustainable future.
