An effective and user-friendly solution for reducing waste, improving health and safety, and boosting event efficiency by promoting reusable stands in the events industry.

Designed for every stand
Our framework works for your needs, whether you’re an organiser, a service provider, an assessor or a venue.
Every stand can be divided into ten categories, and the components of each category can be evaluated.
Each stand can be assessed as Single Use, Bronze, Silver or Gold to celebrate each step towards becoming fully reusable.

How are stands assessed?
There are two ways in which a stand can be assessed against the Better Stands Framework, either through an onsite assessment during an event, or through submitting information for assessment pre-event as a part of the pre-certification process.
Pre-event assessments
This method allows exhibitors and their service providers to get their stand assessed before a show, enabling them to promote and celebrate their rating both ahead of the event and onsite.

This method is arranged by the organiser and takes place largely during the dismantle phase of an event. An assessment of all stands allows organisers to understand how and where to engage with exhibitors for future shows, as well as celebrate those who have already built a reusable stand.
