3 ways to recycle your eco-friendly banners
1. Recycling centres
Eco-friendly banners can be taken to your local recycling centre. Polyester fabrics are quite easy to recycle and reuse. However, more traditional banner materials such as PVC are most likely to head to landfill.
2. Re-use your banners
All banners are reusable so you can reduce your carbon footprint even with PVC, mesh or fabric banners. Below are some ideas for recycling your banners for other uses:
- Outdoor covers – PVC banners are waterproof, making them a good material for covering garden furniture
- Bag for life – if you’re feeling creative, you can create a strong & stylish bag for life with your old banner
- Floor covers – large PVC banners are great as groundsheets or floor covers for DIY tasks
- Table covers – protect your table from spillages, scratches or accidents with your old banner
- Playmats – use your banner as a playmat for arts, crafts and painting activities
- Temporary flooring – cover garage floors, horse stables and more. PVC banners in particular help reduce dust and are easy to clean
3. Donate your banner
You may not have the time to reuse your banner for other purposes but don’t want to throw it away. Check with local schools, clubs or nurseries to see if they can make use of them. They may have ideas on how they can use your banner and prevent it from going to landfill.
