Sustainabilty at The UK Garage & Bodyshop Event 2026
Our Commitment to Sustainable Exhibitions
The UK exhibition industry generates over 100,000 tonnes of waste each year. A typical disposable stand contributes approximately 4 tonnes of waste — the equivalent of 10 average households’ annual waste output.
At Messe Frankfurt UK, we are committed to leading positive change. As part of the Better Stands initiative, we are working to promote sustainable practices and reduce waste across all our events.
About the Better Stands Initiative
Better Stands is an industry-wide movement designed to eliminate single-use, disposable stands in favour of reusable and sustainable alternatives. The initiative encourages exhibitors and contractors to consider how stand materials and components can be reused, recycled, or repurposed.
As an organiser, we will be measuring our own feature areas against the Better Stands checklist and encourage our exhibitors to do the same.
By opting for reusable options, exhibitors can:
- Reduce material waste
- Enhance long-term cost efficiency
- Demonstrate corporate responsibility and environmental awareness
More information will be available in the exhibitor manual or please contact a member of the event team.
