Better Stands at Global Health Exhibition

Better Stands at Global Health Exhibition

Health and sustainability go hand in hand, and it all starts with your event’s stand.

From the air we breathe to the places we inhabit, planetary health is intrinsically linked to our own well-being. This connection is becoming increasingly evident as we witness the far-reaching impacts of human actions on global ecosystems.

As a part of Tahaluf's Commitment to Sustainable Events, Tahaluf is proud to be a part of the Better Stands Programme, which aims to reduce waste and promote sustainability in the events industry

What is the Better Stands Programme?

The Better Stands Programme aims to unite and encourage exhibitors, along with their appointed contractors, to move away from disposable, single use stands at events, in favour of reusable structures. It aspires to become a part of stand build regulations, and compliance will be monitored throughout the event cycle from stand plan submission through to on-site review and verification. We would like you to join us in moving forward towards the future of events.

How do you define a Better Stand?

The Better Stands programme classifies all stands into 4 categories, depending on the 10 elements of stand construction that are reused or recycled, such as the stand walls, the furniture, display facilities and flooring. This facilitates a gradual transition from disposable to reusable stands for all space-only exhibitors.
