Alcoa retained EEI Global to build and manage an exhibit at the Greenbuild International Conference to spread the word about aluminum’s ability to serve as a sustainable building material. The exhibit incorporated the use of aluminum cans within the base of the reception counter to help tell the aluminum recycling story. The backwall integrated the aluminum theme in ‘curved ribbons’ of aluminum. The wall was constructed from aluminum extrusions and supported two 42" LCD monitors in addition to a large header which held the Alcoa logo. EEI Global designed the entire booth to take on green messaging. For more information, contact EEI Global, l400 E.
