TRIAD CREATIVE GROUP  EcoGreen Exhibits™ Fabrication Initiative

Building "Green" for Triad Creative Group is just an extension of our creative fabrication practices of over 40 years. EcoGreen strategies join the ranks of Hybrid vehicles, alternative fuels and solar power. It is here to stay. Triad has committed to selecting green materials that involve assessment of a product's environmental impact over the life cycle and use it responsibly in our Exhibitory manufacturing.

The U.S. Green Building Council states that by 2010 the EcoGreen building industry will top $20 billion in sales. Availability of new materials fueled by consumer awareness of global changes has driven businesses to create their own green initiatives. Triad advises clients on how to incorporate EcoGreen building practices into their booth at trade shows and events when they're introducing products and inviting media scrutiny.

Research has found that Companies have to demonstrate they're sincere about the environment, literally right down to the molecules of their exhibit. Triad can help convert an existing exhibit or completely redesign a planet friendly booth from scratch. We want our clients to walk the walk when it comes to EcoGreen Exhibits™.

How do you begin to plan for an EcoGreen Exhibit™ from Triad? The following will assist in doing just that by taking a few steps toward greener pastures. The guidelines and ideas below will walk you through some of the largest, most ecologically-unfriendly parts of a typical exhibit, and arm you with a new perspective on environmentally-friendly alternatives that have inspired our clients to start turning green faster, and with the knowledge to do so.

Triad uses four basic principles to designing a greener exhibit; Recycle, Renew, Reuse and Reduce all are applied to the design, fabrication and shipping of our EcoGreen Exhibits™. The goal is to reduce the waste that is generated by the use of wood products, cardboard, non-recycled brochures, carpets, counter tops and power consumption as it relates to lighting.

Minimize energy use by installing low energy LED lights throughout the exhibit. The power consumption can be reduced by as much as 80% when using new lighting technology. Reduce the use of vinyl counter top materials by using alternatives such as aluminum or bio-degradable materials that look and feel like vinyl. Avoid printing large quantities of collateral and print material on non-recyclable paper. Potential clients will seek out companies that are sensitive to planetary issues. Taking a recyclable brochure back to the office makes a bold statement when it comes time to select a vendor for their next project.

Lastly, Triad recommends that a truly successful event will assist the consumer in becoming aware of your recycling efforts through education. Include information on your website, have signage that highlights the use of EcoGreen materials. Triad will certify and tag your exhibit green based on the guidelines established by U.S. Green Building Council.

Think Green…Think Triad.
