Make it Green

Condit Exhibits Make it Green program is one of the first “green” design and construction programs in the American exhibit industry. Begun in 2003, Make it Green has one simple goal; to offer our clients the option of making their exhibits “greener”--more environmentally friendly, and reflective of their own efforts toward sustainability. We do this by providing them a “menu” of green materials and practices to choose from in the construction of their exhibits.

Some of these are unseen, “under-sole” type materials, like plywood made from sustainably harvested trees. Some are eyecatching ”green” materials like Kirei, a surfacing material made of recycled sorghum stalks that makes beautiful looking counters. And some are just plain old-fashioned materials like aluminum and steel, which, though prosaic, are among the most widely recycled products in the world.

In addition, we offer creative suggestions on how to reduce the weight of exhibits, thereby cutting down of the ”fossil fuel footprint” required to transport them to the venue. Whatever the technique or material, the idea is that the client gets to choose what percentage of their exhibit will be “green”, based on their particular goals and budget. This “a-la-carte” approach has proven very successful, and at this point we are proud to say we have built a substantial number of “green” exhibits, which have been very well received, not just by our customers, but by visitors to the exhibits as well as the press.
