Convert - P-O-P Sustainability Calculator

POPAI Members receive FREE unlimited access of ConVert – the world’s first online environmental design calculator. It has been developed specifically for the P-O-P industry, enabling industry professionals to measure and compare the environmental impact of up to six P-O-P displays at any one time.

 
How it Works

ConVert works by inputting information about material types, weights, volumes and manufacturing processes, as well as sourcing and logistics. It then provides an indicative environmental performance of a display.

ConVert also gives design advice on use of recyclate and associated carbon savings. Projects can be saved and edited at any time.
