Exhibition stands from recycled energy chains!

igus energy chains are now being recycled in a circular way, enabling the company to reuse them in its own innovation display stands. Working in collaboration with its recycling partner MyGroup in Hull, old energy chains were remanufactured into Storm Boards – versatile structural recycled plastic boards.

Storm Boards are used in a variety of applications: from furniture and shop fittings to replacing timber in various constructions. “Seeing the potential, we decided to reduce our carbon footprint and use them in our display stands,” states igus. “These display stands are available for any of our customers completely free of charge. They are delivered at the customer’s premises, fully stocked with a range of specifically tailored igus products.”

In the past, the panels and shelves were made from energy-intensive aluminium, but now igus is replacing these with its Storm Board panels, containing the recycled energy chains.
