We here at COSI are looking to build exhibits in a more sustainable manner. I am looking to build a database for our organization of resources for our team.
My question to you: What good resources have you come across out there: books, trade journals, and websites? Are there more sustainable/ cost effective choices that can replace common exhibit materials such as HDPE (boat-board), Plywood, Centra, acrylic, or poly carbonate? What have your experience been with the longevity of materials -good, bad, challenges? Help me cut through the noise!
Thanks,
Michael
