(Virtual Showroom) Multotec showcased its strong commitment to environmental responsibility at this year's Electra Mining Africa, held in Johannesburg, with its sustainable exhibition stand constructed entirely with sustainable goals in mind. Every component was either recyclable, repurposable or reusable, setting a new benchmark for eco-conscious exhibition practices in the industry.

Sustainable design and materials

This year’s stand featured a significant reduction in material use and waste. Multotec opted for recyclable Xanita board, a high-strength, lightweight, and recyclable material made from cardboard, instead of traditional non-recyclable materials. To provide stability to the board structures, Multotec used 60 bags (10 kg each) of corn, which will be donated to a school feeding scheme. 

The stand’s structure also incorporated reusable fasteners, including 2 000 threaded bolts and 4 000 steel washers, minimising environmental impact. Additionally, Multotec opted for an eco-friendly solution by using biodegradable hot glue, underscoring the company’s commitment to environmentally friendly practices.

“By prioritising sustainability in our exhibition design, we are not only reducing our environmental impact but also inspiring others in the industry to follow suit,” states Vivienne Murray, Group Marketing Manager at Multotec. “We encourage industry peers and other exhibiting companies to also adopt sustainable practices.”

Efficient production and assembly

The production and assembly of the stand were streamlined through innovative techniques. The components were crafted in a compact 150 m² mini factory using computerised CNC cutting technology, allowing for precise, flat-packed transportation, that is efficiently transported and assembled on-site. This method not only reduced the space required for production but also minimised the carbon footprint associated with logistics.

The stand was efficiently assembled on-site by a small team of specialists using pre-cut and numbered sections. 

Repurposing and recycling initiatives

Multotec’s sustainability efforts extend beyond the exhibition. The company plans to repurpose elements of the stand, such as serving counters and lightbox signage units, for use in its offices across South Africa. Furthermore, larger sections of the board will be transformed into functional items like lap desks for school children, supporting local communities and reinforcing the company’s social responsibility initiatives. Any remaining cardboard is fully recyclable through regular paper recycling methods.

A collaborative effort for sustainable innovation

The success of Multotec’s stand highlights the power of collaboration. The project was made possible through partnerships with DK Design, who designed the stand and project managed the build; SI Digital, who executed the creative vision; and Xanita, the South African manufacturer of the recyclable board material. These collaborations ensured the stand met high standards of sustainability while showcasing Multotec’s innovative products.

“Our goal with this year’s stand was to highlight our commitment to sustainability in every aspect of our business,” says Murray. “We are proud to demonstrate that innovation and environmental responsibility can go hand-in-hand.”

Multotec’s participation at Electra Mining Africa 2024 reinforces its role as a leader in the mining and minerals processing industry.
