The exhibition, which took place at Tokyo's Big Sight from 28-30 August, included several booth shelves and stands made from the 16mm vinyl X-Boards.

Printers can image directly on to the board, which is made entirely from recycled produce, using a flatbed or screen press.

Erskine Stewart, UK sales manager, said: "X-Board is fairly new to the market now and has been well received. We have been selling it in South Africa for the last few months and are hoping to gain a UK presence through Europoint, our UK distributor."

Xanita was established in 2007 and sells its products through distributors worldwide.
