Sustainability at Plástico Brasil
As the leading event for the machinery and equipment industry in Latin America, Plástico Brasil reaffirms its commitment to sustainability. For us, balancing environmental awareness, social equity, and economic viability is more than a goal; it is our responsibility to the future.
We recognize the logistical and carbon emission challenges of the sector, but we see them as drivers of innovation. We focus on energy efficiency, sustainable raw materials, and the development of human-centered technologies. Plástico Brasil is the ultimate platform to transform these challenges into real practices, uniting the industry in a collective movement for a sustainable future. Join us in this transformation.
As part of our commitment, we focus on three sustainability pillars:

Created by Informa in 2019, Better Stands is a global program aimed at eliminating stand waste.
To achieve this, we encourage exhibitors and stand builders to replace disposable (single use) stands with reusable ones, significantly reducing environmental impact
Why join Better Stands?
Disposable stands account for more than 70% of the waste generated at events, causing significant environmental problems. Better Stands was created to address this issue, aiming to transform events into examples of sustainability and safety.
