Fairs & Exhibition stands
Less than 1% of our total CO2 emissions
Building massive exhibition stands only for a few days can be debatable from a sustainability standpoint. That’s why we have taken all our fairs into consideration when calculating our CO2.
When building our fair stands, we aim to:
Borrow furniture from friends in the industry (in the last case we borrowed from SDW2020 and Halle).
Reuse whatever we can from the stands.
Recycle all materials possible.
BAUX Acoustic Wood Wool
BAUX wood fibres are FSC® and PEFCTM certified –– guaranteeing that they can be traced back to responsible forestry operations. The wood is collected from the Swedish forest in the direct surroundings of the factory in order to minimise negative CO2 emissions caused by longer transport distances. The small amount of wood waste that is generated as a result of production is taken care of—80% is used to heat the factory and drying plant. No waste is produced from the timber log.
CO2 emissions kg/m2
Raw Materials
- Wood cement and water.
- We use locally harvested FSC certified pine and spruce from Swedish forests.
- We use 100% natural materials with no additives.
- Our cement provider, Cementa, has been recognised as the world’s most sustainable cement factory. Read more about this under ‘Installation & End of life.’

Transport
- From factories to the end client, including samples and the final product.
- We aim to produce as few emissions as possible during the transportation of products.
- We transport products to clients on the ground by truck, and rarely use air transportation.
- We have an efficient raw materials logistics solution that provides materials to the USA and Australia.

Installation & End of life
- Installed Wood Wool products lead to reduced energy consumption due to their heat accumulating performance.
- All Wood Wool products have a long life and 50 year warranty.
- Wood Wool captures a significant amount of CO2 from the atmosphere, leading to reduced Co2 emissions.

% of carbon capture: -70%
This means that we have a 70% reduction from the total CO2 that stem from the Wood Wool cement production.
BAUX Acoustic Pulp
The manufacturing process is 100% sustainable and highly technological. The cellulose mix is formed inside a 3D mould with a powerful vacuum method and dried under high pressure. The surface is nano-perforated using an advanced laser technique. All material waste is recycled back into the production process and re-used again. All water used is built into a closed circular system and recycled. The only emission from production is a tiny amount of pure and clean water vapour that is released as the material dries.
CO2 emissions kg/m2
Raw Materials
- Cellulose, potato starch, wheat bran and plant wax.
- We use organic and locally harvested cellulose and the wheat bran is a rest product.
- The wood we derive our cellulose from is FSC
