Unibox at The Exhibiting Show 2008

United Aluminium has raided nature's store cupboard for its latest evolution of its Unibox exhibition system.This year a 4 metre-high aluminium tree dominated the Unibox stand at The Exhibiting Show. Made entirely from stock components, its intention is to highlight the possibilities of recycling in the exhibition industry.

As well as a symbol of United Aluminium's eco conciousness, the tree, (an evergreen in case you were wondering) also launched a new range. Unibox Infinity joins our exhibition, retail and graphic displays system offerings and showcases the possibilities for designers to discover ever more creative ways in which to use the Unibox system in their projects.

This is an industry which generates more than 60,000 tonnes of waste a year, at a cost of 40 million pound,* but as director Nick Wraith points out: "As individuals we are all aware of the positive impact of environmentally-friendly good practice. Now, by highlighting and encouraging the utilisation of the recyclable properties of the Unibox aluminium system, we will hopefully be making a genuine contribution to our industry's sustainability responsibilities."
