What Makes a Display Sustainable?

You’ve probably heard the word sustainable quite a bit lately, but what is it? What makes a display sustainable? Here we’ll look at the ways something can actually be considered sustainable.

Materials it’s made from

When a display is made using a material that is being recycled or created with a material that can be recycled, this is considered a feature that coincides with sustainability.

It’s ability to be reused

The fact that retail displays can be reused over and over is a form of sustainability as well. You can think of this as recycling, but it’s more about longevity and not having to dispose of the display after a single use.

How it was made and the impact that has on the environment

Lastly if you look at how a retail display is made, this can contribute to it being sustainable. If the manufacturer uses sustainable practices or sustainable materials then the end product can also be considered sustainable.
