At ProPak Indonesia we are committed to delivering a sustainable event for both exhibitors and attendees.
Disposable, single-use stands account for around 80% of the total waste from our event, which is why we are launching the Better Stands Programme.
We believe that sustainable, reusable stand options offer a better way forward for the events industry. As an exhibitor you can work with your Exhibitor Appointed Contractor to design a stand that fits this criteria.
If you’re unsure of where to start, Consult our official contractors for help when choosing a reusable stand.
As Part of Our Commitment, we are focusing on:
