A stand with low environmental impact: the Almec Group case
Almec Group is a company specialising in the production of semi-finished and finished products for the upholstered furniture sector. Particularly attentive to the ecological impact of its production processes and the energy efficiency of its factories, it strives to make choices in every context that really protect the social and environmental ecosystem.
CO2 emissions reduced by 90%
At Interzum 2023, one of the world’s most important trade fairs for the furniture supply and interior design sector, Almec Group commissioned WABi with the design and ABS Group with the production of its exhibition stand.
The stand was built using beMatrix aluminium profiles for the structures covered with recyclable dye-sublimation-print fabrics.
The choice not to use wood, plasterboard or paint, but environmentally sustainable materials that can be taken down and reused led to a reduction in CO2 emissions of over 90%.
This figure was obtained with certainty thanks to software developed for beMatrix to measure the carbon footprint of stands.
The Almec Group case is therefore a significant testimony as to how it is possible to have an approach consistent with your environmental philosophy even when participating in trade fairs and events.
The new trade fair guidelines
As we know, reducing the environmental impact of exhibitions and events is no longer an option or a communication opportunity, but an urgent necessity. In order to support, apply, and promote the values of sustainability, trade fair organisations are in fact gradually expanding their guidelines for the design and realisation of exhibition stands.
Why beMatrix is one of the market’s most sustainable systems
In line with the principles of “Design for Disassembly” and the new trade fair guidelines, a stand made with the beMatrix system and fabric coverings is sustainable because:
IT IS REUSABLE: the structures can be reused by changing the covering fabrics or the different elements can be taken apart and repurposed.
IT IS RE-CONFIGURABLE: beMatrix profiles are versatile and can be reused by changing the configuration of the layout, thanks to innovative fasteners and connectors
IT IS REPAIRABLE: its sustainable brushing ECO+ finish technique makes profiles easier to repair.
IS REPAIRABLE: the aluminium of beMatrix profiles is a material that can be recycled without losing its quality.
IT IS COVERED WITH ECO-FRIENDLY MATERIALS: the use of textiles, especially recycled ones, instead of traditional rigid or plastic materials, makes the system sustainable from many points of view.
IT SAVES ON LOGISTICS: beMatrix structures reduce space requirements and optimise time and manpower.
