Sustainability
At MxL, we take a sustainable approach to how we work — from how we design, manufacture, and install projects to how we run our office day-to-day.
We go beyond basic compliance by building sustainability into the decisions we make at every stage of a project.
Designing & Building Smarter
The biggest environmental impact we can make is in how things are built. That’s why, wherever possible, we:
- Build using responsibly sourced timber that can be reused, adapted and reconfigured across multiple shows
- Reuse and refurbish stock items, components and structures from previous projects
- Advise clients on build approaches that work long-term, not just for a single event
This approach doesn’t just reduce waste and extend the life of materials — it’s also significantly more cost-effective, helping clients get more value from their investment.
Why We Choose Timber Over Aluminium Frame Systems
Timber is a renewable, responsibly sourced material that can be reused, repaired and reworked over multiple projects — making it a more sustainable choice than aluminium frame systems, which rely more heavily on energy-intensive production and recycling.
It supports a more practical, long-term approach to manufacturing — and also gives complete freedom to create fully bespoke, high-quality stands, without the design limits and poorer finish of frame systems.
Reducing Our Day-to-Day Impact
Beyond how we design and build, we also look for practical ways to reduce our environmental impact across the wider business. We work with licensed waste partners and prioritise recycling, with the vast majority of workshop and build waste diverted from landfill. We minimise paper use and packaging wherever possible, and plan deliveries and installations efficiently to reduce unnecessary travel and transport.
