Cleveland ― Sherwin-Williams, a provider of green products in the coatings industry, has unveiled an environmentally preferable tradeshow booth. The display, developed in collaboration with Opus Design, showcases the company’s green products and environmental initiatives through innovative construction.

The booth was created with several environmentally preferred materials, such as plyboo, a plywood alternative derived from bamboo, and paperstone, a material utilizing 100 percent post-consumer waste paper and petroleum-free resin. Mechanical fasteners were used on the recycled aluminum framing to eliminate the need for welding, a process that can produce gasses harmful to air quality. In addition, the booth was designed to be efficient to ship and transportation needs will be reduced due to its lower weight.

The Sherwin-Williams green exhibitor booth was used this year at the American Institute of Architects National Convention and Design Exposition, and will be used at the Construct 2008 show, National Apartment Association Conference and Greenbuild 2008 International Conference.
