What You'll Learn on the AVIXA Sustainability Tour at InfoComm 2025

How eight technology innovators are reshaping sustainability in the AV industry

Sustainability will take center stage at InfoComm 2025 with the return of the AVIXA Sustainability Tour on Wednesday, June 11, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m.

Spotlighting audiovisual (AV) and unified communications (UC) manufacturers who are reshaping the industry’s approach to sustainability, the tour of eight vendor booths highlights environmental sustainability through innovation in product design, packaging, energy efficiency, and circularity. Each stop features solutions that reduce environmental impact while supporting end-user goals for responsible procurement, emissions reduction, and product lifecycle management.

From carbon footprint labeling to packaging design to zero-power digital signage, each stop tells a different story of how sustainability is emerging as a key component of AV technology product roadmaps, leading the way to a truly greener future.

See how sustainability is advancing across the entire technology life cycle

Tour participants will hear firsthand how these AV and UC technology leaders are rethinking their environmental impact from multiple angles:

• Aluvision (Booth 961): Creating sustainable building blocks for exhibits and live events, Aluvision makes modular exhibit frames from at least 77.5% recycled aluminum. The frames are designed for endless possible combinations, reusability, and durability, significantly reducing environmental impact. The frames’ lightweight and compact designs lower transportation emissions, and their production facilities primarily operate on solar energy, underscoring their commitment to eco-friendly practices.
• Barco (Booth 2829): Pioneering an eco-scoring system that integrates sustainability into every product development decision, evaluating energy use, materials, packaging, and lifecycle impact. Their new F400-4K projector embodies this approach, using a solid-state laser light source and durable aluminum housing to reduce maintenance and extend lifespan. The F400 meets the discerning demands of simulation environments while also achieving energy efficiency and a low carbon footprint.
• Huddly (Booth 4415): Advancing sustainability by designing cameras that evolve through software rather than hardware replacement. Its collaboration devices, including the Huddly C1, receive regular firmware updates that introduce new AI-driven features, such as Gallery View and smart framing, without requiring new physical components. This approach reduces electronic waste and extends product lifespans.
• Legrand (Booth 2801): Enabling sustainability through modular product design, environmental transparency, and long-term climate targets. Its Da-Lite projection screens feature modular components that can be replaced individually, extending product life and reducing waste. They also provide ISO-compliant Product Environmental Profiles (PEPs) to help customers evaluate the environmental impacts of their products across their entire life cycle. Legrand has committed to reaching net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
• Logitech (Booth 3012): Leading the industry in product-level carbon transparency, with carbon footprint labels now featured on 66% of its products and a goal of reaching 100% by the end of the year. Logitech integrates circular design by utilizing next-life plastics in video collaboration devices, such as Logitech Sight, and low-carbon aluminum produced with renewable energy, thereby eliminating thousands of metric tons of CO₂e. Its environmental sensors, like Logitech Spot, help optimize room use and monitor air quality, temperature, and humidity, supporting healthier, more energy-efficient workplaces. Logitech’s efforts align with global standards, like LEED and WELL Buildings, for both climate responsibility and workplace well-being.
• Philips Professional Displays (Booth 3351): Dramatically reducing the carbon footprint of digital signage through its EcoDesign QE-Line and Tableaux ePaper series. The QE-Line reduces energy use by 50% compared to similar 4K UHD models, uses recyclable materials and packaging, and was the first digital signage display to achieve EPEAT Climate+ Gold certification. Tableaux full-color ePaper displays require power only to update content, offering a zero-power signage solution while also reducing paper waste by digitizing traditional posters and placards.
• Sharp (Booth 1601): Redefining sustainability and signage, Sharp’s Advanced Color ePaper (ACeP) displays consume no power when static and only minimal energy to update content, enabling carbon-neutral signage. With a paper-like appearance and excellent readability in bright environments, they eliminate blue light emissions and constant power needs. Lightweight, battery-operable, and made with recycled materials, ACeP displays are ideal for sustainable signage in retail, transit, and hospitality settings.
• Shure (Booth 2843): Radically reducing the environmental impact of its packaging by replacing plastic trays with molded pulp, minimizing printed materials, and optimizing box sizes to lower carbon emissions from shipping. Shure achieved its goal of using 75% recyclable or renewable packaging materials by 2023 and aims to reach 100% by 2030, or sooner.

Connecting Sustainability to Business Impact

This year’s AVIXA Sustainability Tour shows that environmental progress and product performance can go hand in hand. From circular design and carbon labeling to e-waste reduction and energy savings, each of these manufacturers is advancing sustainability in ways that matter, not just to the planet, but to customers’ bottom lines and procurement priorities.

“Sustainability is no longer a nice-to-have,” said Kelly Bousman, Senior Vice President of ESG and Sustainability at AVI-SPL and tour leader. “It’s becoming a deciding factor in AV purchasing. This tour is about showing what’s possible when we bring the same rigor to sustainability as we do to system design.”

More AV customers than ever before are setting carbon reduction targets, and manufacturers and integrators play a critical role in shaping low-carbon solutions through product design, deployment, and operation. There is a clear, growing demand for verified product data, modularity, longevity, and efficient operation, and AVIXA members are responding with real innovation.

A Step Toward More Sustainable Standards

AVI-SPL’s involvement in the tour reflects its broader commitment to sustainability. From reducing its own carbon footprint and offering eco-friendly meeting room designs, to creating tools like the Supplier Sustainability Matrix and leading rainforest conservation through the UN-REDD+ program, the company is working across the AV value chain to create meaningful change.

The AVIXA Sustainability Tour at InfoComm 2025 is just one example of how cross-industry collaboration can accelerate progress. By spotlighting verified environmental practices in real-world applications, AVI-SPL and its partners are helping raise the bar and helping the industry move toward greener standards that benefit everyone.
