Have your say: Addressing demolition and/or installation, sustainably.

Have your say: What is your key sustainability consideration when addressing demolition and/or installation?

Our CSO, Helen Mitchell, recently contributed to Design Insiders’ ‘Have your say’ series. The series invites experts within commercial interiors and instigates conversations that inform, challenge & inspire the people who make our sector thrive.

Their recent ‘Have your say’ looked to push the conversation on sustainability in to actions and having a greater understanding of how to approach the installation and/or demolition stages of a project.

For Ignition, it’s incredibly important to work and connect with clients and suppliers that share our sustainable values.

‘Whether we’re installing or dismantling an exhibition stand, our key consideration is always the same – how to achieve zero-waste-to-landfill. We address this through modular stands, designed for long life, with as many elements as possible retained for future use. Sometimes, issues are caused by event rules – US organisers insist on carpet being used for stand flooring for example. Historically, we’ve re-used that carpet to line our warehouse crates, but we’re really happy to see products like Interface’s CQuestTMBio coming along now, promising net carbon negativity.’
