Arbor Day ceremony held at the permanent site of Tehran International Exhibitions

Booth Construction Media – On the occasion of March 15, National Arbor Day , a symbolic sapling planting ceremony was held at the permanent site of Tehran International Exhibitions in the presence of senior managers of the complex. This event, which was organized by the Islamic Republic of Iran International Exhibitions Joint Stock Company, is a symbol of this institution’s commitment to social and environmental responsibilities alongside specialized activities in the exhibition and booth construction industry .

Details of the ceremony and the presence of senior managers

In this ceremony, Sedif Beikzadeh, CEO of the International Exhibitions Joint Stock Company, along with the board members, managers and vice presidents of the company, planted saplings in the exhibition area, emphasizing the importance of developing green space and its role in creating a sustainable environment for national and international events. On the sidelines of the ceremony, Beikzadeh announced:

“Protecting the environment and promoting the principles of sustainability are an integral part of our activities in the field of exhibitions and booth construction. Today, we are not only planting trees but also sending a green message to all industry activists to pay special attention to reducing the carbon footprint and using environmentally friendly materials in the design and implementation of booths and events.”

Linking tree farming with the booth building industry

The event was an opportunity to highlight the importance of incorporating sustainable elements into booth and exhibition design. Using recycled materials, reducing single-use plastics, and designing reusable structures are some of the approaches that leading booth companies are pursuing to align with environmental goals. Tehran International Exhibitions, as one of the main hubs for holding business events in the region, provides a model for integrating the exhibition industry with environmental responsibilities by implementing such programs .

Holding the Arbor Day ceremony at this complex is not only a symbolic step to revive the green space, but also an emphasis on the need for a new look at booth construction as a creative industry that is in harmony with nature. In an era when audiences and companies have become more sensitive to the concepts of sustainability, such actions can establish the image of the exhibition industry as a pioneer in sustainable development.

Wood in exhibition booth construction: From classic materials to sustainable approaches and its relationship with arboriculture

The exhibition stand industry is always looking for a combination of beauty, functionality and innovation . In the meantime, wooden materials, as classic and modern elements, have a special place in the design of stands . However, with increasing attention to the environment, the choice of wood type and its relationship with corporate social responsibility in the form of tree planting programs has become a vital issue. In this article, we will examine the types of wood materials commonly used in stand construction and their relationship with the tree planting culture.

Types of wooden materials in booth construction

Wood is one of the most widely used materials in booth construction due to its flexibility, formability, and the natural feel it gives to the space . However, the variety of wood species and different treatments makes the choice a matter of specialization:

1.  Natural wood (all-wood planks)

• Advantages :  High durability,unique beauty of texture and color, ability to be restored and repaired.
• Disadvantages: high  cost , sensitivity to moisture and pests, need for constant maintenance.
• Application:  Construction of luxury elements, fixed decorations and high-traffic stands .

2.  Hardboard (MDF and particleboard)

• Advantages : Affordable  price , smooth surface for printing and coloring, variety in thickness.
• Disadvantages:  Low resistance to moisture, formaldehyde emission in some poor quality types.
• Application:  Making decorative panels, temporary furniture and non-load-bearing components.

3.  Plywood (layered wood board)

• Advantages :  High strength, resistance to torsion, usability in lightweight structures.
• Disadvantages:  Edges need to be covered, limitations on curved designs.
• Application: Construction of booth  skeletons , false ceilings and partition walls.

4.  Wood-plast (combination of wood fibers and polymer)

• Advantages :  Excellent resistance to water and insects, low maintenance, recyclable.
• Disadvantages:  Less “natural” feel than solid wood, higher cost than MDF.
• Application:  Outdoor pavilions, flooring and outdoor furniture .

5.  Bamboo

• Advantages :  Fast and renewable growth, high strength, modern and ecological design.
• Disadvantages:  Limited access in some areas, requires special payment.
• Application:  Nature-themed booths, sustainable decorative elements .

The relationship between wooden materials and arboriculture: The green cycle of the booth construction industry

The use of wood in booth construction, while visually appealing and functional, raises environmental questions. Does this industry contribute to deforestation? The answer to this question depends on two key principles:

1.  Sustainable wood resources and international certifications

• FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) standard:  Wood with this label is harvested from responsibly managed forests where a new sapling is planted for every tree cut down.
• Using recycled wood:  Recycling timber and converting it into products such as plywood or MDF reduces pressure on forests.

2.  Tree planting: offsetting the ecological footprint

Some leading exhibition companies organize tree planting programs to offset the wood consumption in their projects. For example:

• Collaboration with non-governmental organizations to plant a tree for every square meter of booth built.
• Using fast-growing woods such as bamboo or poplar, which reduces the need to cut down old forest trees.

3.  Education and culture building

Educating customers about the benefits of sustainable wood and encouraging them to choose booths with environmentally friendly materials plays an important role in creating a balance between industry and nature.

Conclusion: Green booth construction, a future in harmony with nature

The exhibition industry cannot ignore wood as a key material, but it can join the circle of sustainable development by choosing materials wisely and participating in tree planting programs. Using FSC-certified wood, employing recycled technologies and supporting reforestation projects not only demonstrate corporate social responsibility, but also increase the credibility of brands in the eyes of environmentally sensitive audiences.

Final words:
Arboriculture and pavilion construction are two sides of the same coin; one brings life back to nature, and the other uses its gifts to create beauty . With a forward-looking perspective, this relationship can become a model for the coexistence of industry and the environment.
