ISPO Munich x woodï –
circular exhibition hall concept

Circular trade fairs?
Absolutely!

Visitors at ISPO 2024 can experience a holistically circular hall concept up close in the Sustainability Hub. In Hall A2, which provides the stage for an immersive experience of sustainable innovations, all elements and materials have circularity at their core ─ from the shelves to the carpets and the graphic plates. In collaboration with meplan, the concept is based on the circular trade fair construction system woodï.

With the resource-conserving woodï.system, meplan is a pioneer in the field of sustainable exhibition space design. Woodï is the first exhibition stand system to be developed according to the principles of the circular economy and has been produced over a hundred times to date. With the goal of keeping all material flows 100% closed-loop by 2028, meplan is setting standards for the exhibition industry. This closed-loop approach enables exhibitors and trade fair organizers to significantly reduce the amount of waste.


The circular highlights
at ISPO Munich 2024

Composite Panel + 3D-hooks

The world’s first composite panel made with unsorted household waste, diverted from landfills and recycled PVC. The PALBOARD Terra substrate is made with UBQ™, the only material upcycled from 100% unsorted waste.
Utilizing trash and turning it into a sustainable resource. PALBOARD Terra is engineered for wide-format printing
and for mechanical fabrication. Create displays and graphics with a reduced carbon footprint.

Together with our newly developed hanging hooks, perfectly designed to fit the grooves of our woodï panels, any carrier material up to 7 mm thick can be securely clamped. The hooks are produced using 3D printing with bio-based filament, generating zero waste. They are virtually indestructible, endlessly reusable, and biodegradable at the end of their lifecycle.

The material for the composite panels and hooks was deliberately chosen to work with our partners in fully closing the loop.

 

Innovative carpet concept

At ISPO 2024, woodï presents not only the versatile modules but also an innovative carpet concept. In collaboration with the woodïversum partner Wittmann, the carpets used in the Sustainability Hub will be recycled, giving all components a second life. Rewind’s event carpets, which are 100 % recyclable, serve as the basis. The product of dedicated research impresses with latex-free needle felt solutions that massively reduce energy consumption thanks to the closed loop and do not require a drop of water for production.

woodï.landscape neo

woodï materialsThe furniture used for woodï is called woodï.neo and was created in collaboration with the start-up WYE Design, which has received numerous awards for its sustainable efforts. They are made from the innovative material Neolign®, which consists entirely of materials that are produced as waste in other industries and are often incinerated. The main component is wood, with 83%.

Production takes place regionally and with green electricity. Their robustness and reparability give them a long lifespan, making them even more resource-efficient. And when they have finished their work one day, they are taken back and completely transformed back into the original material.

woodï materials

meplan’s own exhibition stand system basically consists of elements that can be assembled and dismantled several times. At the end of the useful life of a particular component, a further use in a different form is planned. In addition to the components of a woodï brand space, the furnishings, technology and decoration also play a decisive role. With all these components, the circular economy is established at woodï. Below you can find out which innovative materials we use.
