How to Make Greener Choices in Visual Merchandising Procurement By Yan Luo | Samtop Display
Sustainable display sourcing means choosing recyclable materials, flat-packable design, low-VOC finishes, and end-of-life planning. From FSC wood to recycled acrylic, smart brands reduce waste and improve ESG scores — without compromising visual impact.
Sustainable materials for retail displays
Most POP displays are discarded after a single use — adding cost, waste, and damaging your brand’s sustainability message.
Air-freighted MDF, PVC foam, toxic glues… these choices hurt your brand’s environmental credibility, especially with Gen Z and EU-compliant markets.
This guide helps you build eco-smart displays by selecting better materials, modular construction, reusable packaging — and aligning your procurement with brand values and legislation.
🛬 Optimize for courier, sea freight, and warehouse stacking 🧱 Honeycomb panels, aluminum frames, collapsible builds
4. Switch to Sustainable Packaging
📦 Molded paper > foam 📦 Kraft wrap > plastic film 📦 Paper tape > PVC sealing
5. Apply Low-VOC, Water-Based Coatings
🎨 Water-based lacquer, UV print, powder coat 💡 Improves indoor air safety + staff health
