‘Environmentally Friendly Booths’ Program from SIGN Istanbul
SIGN Istanbul, one of the most important meetings of the industrial advertising and digital printing world, took an important step to increase sustainability awareness in the sector and reduce environmental impacts. With the “Environmentally Friendly Booths” program implemented, the fair encourages participating companies to adopt more environmentally friendly and responsible solutions.
As part of the program, companies participating in the exhibition, which will be held at the Istanbul Fair Center between September 23-26, 2026, are being guided towards using reusable, modular, and recyclable materials in their booth designs, instead of single-use and waste-generating stand applications. With this approach, SIGN Istanbul aims to support a long-term transformation not only during the exhibition but also across the entire sector.
“Seda Bozkurt: We Aim to Establish Environmental Standards”
Seda Bozkurt, Exhibition Director, stated that they aim to minimize waste generation by assisting companies participating in the 27th SIGN Istanbul meeting in September in choosing recyclable and reusable materials for their stand designs; “In this way, we enable our participants not only to showcase their products but also to demonstrate their commitment to sustainability. As SIGN Istanbul, we aim to set a standard for environmentally conscious practices in the exhibition industry.”
SIGN Istanbul Reduces Carbon Footprint
SIGN Istanbul, which supports eco-friendly booth setups by eliminating single-use materials and promoting recyclability, also guides its exhibitors and visitors to increase energy efficiency. Seda Bozkurt stated that they support the adoption of sustainable practices, from lighting choices to eco-friendly booth designs, adding: “By prioritizing renewable energy, we are creating a cleaner and greener exhibition environment for all our stakeholders. Our main goal is to lead the way in contributing to a more sustainable future for the industrial advertising and digital printing sector.”
Environmentally Friendly Stands Awarded with Gold, Silver, and Bronze Certificates
SIGN Istanbul, aiming to organize a greener trade fair with sustainable solutions shaping the future of industrial advertising and digital printing, also rewards participating companies that set an example in this field. Companies that stand out with their environmentally friendly stand practices are honored with “Gold,” “Silver,” and “Bronze” certificates according to the determined criteria. These certificates make the environmental responsibility sensitivity of SIGN Istanbul participants visible, while also contributing to the dissemination of best practices in the sector.
