Meyer Burger wins sustainability award for exhibition stand at Intersolar
Europe
Meyer Burger Technology AG has won the Sustainability Award for its
exhibition stand at this year's Intersolar Europe in Munich. The award was
presented for the first time. The prize was awarded by the EUPD Research
agency, which honors particularly sustainable trade show concepts. A total
of more than 80 exhibitors applied for the award.
"As sustainability is in Meyer Burger's DNA, we have given a lot of thought
to an appropriate trade show concept," says Bettina Brammer, Head of
Marketing at Meyer Burger. "Like our solar modules, this concept should also
comply with the circular principle and produce as little waste as possible.
We are delighted that there is now an award for sustainability in trade show
construction and that we are one of the first winners."
The EUPD's STEP (Sustainable Trade events Partnership) initiative aims to
work together with trade show venue operators, trade show organizers,
exhibitors, media and associations towards climate-neutral and waste-free
trade shows and events. "Meyer Burger has taken on a truly pioneering role
with its stand concept and has impressively demonstrated that a truly
sustainable trade show stand is possible," said Jens Mürke, Head of ESG at
EUPD. "By dispensing with the exhibition floor alone, 10.5 tons of CO2 are
saved. That is remarkable and will hopefully find many imitators."
Meyer Burger's current exhibition stand concept only uses materials that can
be reused after the trade show. Typical components such as flooring,
suspensions or exhibition walls were replaced by commercially available
scaffolding, fabrics and rental plants. Meyer Burger's long-standing booth
builder Walbert-Schmitz from Aachen developed and implemented the concept.
