Recyclable exhibition and display systems launched
Howard Lake | 27 November 2006 | News
Not-for-profit sector communications consultancy Cottier & Sidaway has launched a totally recyclable exhibition and display system.
Made of 100 per cent recycled materials the system is made from a honeycomb structure sandwiched between the display surfaces. The boards can be printed with your own design and logo and can be cut to almost any shape and size. They fold into a honeycomb box for travel and storage and can be recycled when you’ve finished with them.
The boards come in free-standing designs or for use with a variety of weighted bases. The material also lends itself to signs, lightweight tables and chairs and shelving, plus it will take velcro loops and boards can be made fire-retardant.

Creative director Tim Sidaway said This provides a real alternative to conventional systems currently in the marketplace. We hope all our clients will adopt the recyclable displays where practical and we expect our many conservation and environmental clients will be the first to ask us to design their next exhibition boards using the honeycomb system.
He said the material was originally developed in aircraft manufacture for its strength and light weight. The price, generally speaking, is pretty good, said Sidaway. It compares very favourably on smaller stands, but can work out considerably cheaper on the bigger stands.
