Furniture Reuse Capability

We offer an extensive range of hire furniture to suit different styles and brand guidelines. We custom made protective storage boxes to extend the lifespan of each item.

We repair, repurpose and donate furniture to charities to extend their life cycle as much as we can. When upcycling is no longer possible, we recycle the materials that can be detached.

Flooring

Our 62,000sqm stock of hire carpet tiles has an incredible lifespan capability.

Our custom raised flooring is made with durable materials allowing us to reuse them extensively. We use timber offcuts for underlay to reduce waste from custom cut timber panels.

Lighting

All our events are powered with LED lights, which present an average of 80% energy saving compared to Halogen lights.

Timed power switches allow for overnight lighting circuit shutdown while keeping essential power circuits active, resulting in reduced energy consumption.

EFFICIENT LOGISTICS

With our offices and warehouses located in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, we offer a large range of stock and labour in each location reducing our interstate transport emissions considerably. We operate locally as much as possible partnering with labour hire companies and workshops if our own crew is not available.

STORAGE

We are equipped with large storage facilities in our three branches, not only to store our hire and reusable products, but to offer our clients the opportunity to keep their custom stands, displays and signage for future events.

Thanks to our storage service we are reducing resource consumption, energy used in the manufacturing process and waste produced post-event.

At Exponet, each department has always been proactive in creating diversion solutions for the end of life of our products; from donations to charities and the community to incredible repair and repurpose efforts. Our custom products still create a waste impact. We are committed to improving our recycling efforts by continually engage with recycling partners:

Signage:
Our paper-based signage is recycled through the Paper & Carboard bin. Our fabric and PP (Polypropylene) waste is recycled into circular products. (See diagram for details).

Timber:
Thanks to the right waste partnerships, we are diverting MDF, Plywood and Pine from landfill.

Metals:
We collect and recycle all types of metals produced in our facilities.

E-waste:
Through partnerships with recycling businesses and donations to charities, all our audio visual and IT waste is diverted from landfills.

Substrates

Since 2022, we have been testing new materials to be able to offer a reliable and recyclable range of digitally printed substrates to our clients; from fascias and infills to fabric banners and column wraps.

Reliability and quality are at the top of our priorities when it comes to introducing alternative products and initiatives, that is why we are carefully testing and improving our processes to move away from PVC signage. We offer paper-based, polypropylene and fabric substrates that are 100% recyclable. 22.5% of our fabric prints are made exclusively with recycled polyester.

Inks

Our suppliers use UV and latex inks, which eliminate the use of solvents, therefore there are not harmful VOCs released into the atmosphere during the printing process of our graphics.

Eco-solvent Inks

When we produce self-adhesive stickers and floor graphics, eco-solvent inks are used due to the application tape not being able to be adhered to UV inks. Eco-solvent inks are made from a biodegradable solvent that reduces environmental impact compared to traditional solvent inks.
