When Building Green takes place in both Aarhus and Copenhagen, some of the most ambitious players in the construction industry come together around a shared agenda: the green transition. The Aarhus edition has just taken place, while the Copenhagen event will be held on 28–29 October, where the industry once again gathers to share knowledge, solutions and inspiration.
This is a exhibition where sustainability is not just an ambition – it is an expectation.
And this increasingly applies to the exhibition stand itself.
At Building Green, the stand is no longer just a visual framework. It is an active part of the story.
As thousands of professionals move through the halls – most recently in Aarhus and soon in Copenhagen – everything is assessed: materials, construction, reusability and documentation.
Visitors don’t just ask: What do you do?
They also ask: How is this built? What is it made from? What happens afterwards?
This raises new demands – but also creates new opportunities.
At Scanex, we work to make the stand an integrated part of a company’s sustainability profile – something that actively supports the overall narrative.
The exhibition industry has traditionally been characterised by temporary solutions. Stands are built, used for a few days and then discarded.
That model is increasingly under pressure.
Instead, we work with a circular approach where lifespan and reuse are considered from the outset. This includes modular stands, flexible constructions and solutions where materials can be dismantled and reused.
It is not just about reducing waste – it is about creating solutions that deliver value over time.
At Building Green, material choices quickly become part of the conversation.
That is why we actively work with materials that both reduce environmental impact and support a strong, credible story.
Mycelium – nature’s own building material
We have worked with mycelium in collaboration with clients. The material is based on fungal structures that grow in moulds, creating lightweight and biodegradable elements. It is not only sustainable – it also sparks curiosity and dialogue.
Cardboard and Swedboard – lightweight, strong and efficient
We have built stands using cardboard and Swedboard walls, reducing weight, transport and resource consumption without compromising strength or visual appeal.
Reused materials – extending the life of resources
We rethink existing materials and integrate them into new designs, giving them multiple lifecycles instead of discarding them.
Material selection is not just a technical decision – it is an active part of the story the exhibitor tells.
Sustainability does not stop at what is visible.
At Scanex, we have planted our own Pawlonia trees – a fast-growing timber suitable for joinery production.
The ambition is for this timber to eventually become part of our own solutions. It is a concrete step towards a more responsible value chain.
The most sustainable solutions are created in the design phase.
When these considerations are integrated from the beginning, sustainability becomes a strength rather than a limitation.
At Building Green, it is not enough to have a strong product – it must be presented credibly. At Scanex, we help exhibitors turn sustainability ambitions into concrete stand solutions. We advise on materials, design and reuse, ensuring that the stand reflects the company’s values.
Sustainability is not about lowering ambitions – it is about raising the bar.
At Building Green, it is the well-considered solutions that stand out.
The ones that can be explained. And the ones that last – even after the event is over.
