Reflections for drafting the CAM Allestimenti. A legacy of the first conference on sustainable exhibit promoted by the NSBVN Cluster

The analysis of the Criteri Ambientali Minimi (CAM) for events highlights seve- ral critical issues regarding their applicability and the lack of specific parameters for the exhibition sector. By comparing existing regulations with current practi- ces in the fair and museum contexts, the essay underscores the urgent need for regulatory updates that introduce more concrete strategies for the sustainability of exhibition setups. Among the proposed solutions are Design for Disassembly, the use of reusable materials, and the standardization of dismantling processes. The text also advocates for the creation of a dedicated CAM Allestimenti (cur- rently absent), aimed at more effectively regulating material management and the life cycle of exhibition installations. The involvement of reuse platforms, collabo- ration among actors across the supply chain, and the promotion of new design practices are identified as key factors in facilitating a sustainable transition within the sector.
