The use of recycled plastic for signage has multiple environmental benefits. First, it gives a second life to bottles and other plastics that would otherwise end up in landfills. In addition, by needing fewer replacements, it saves a large amount of resources such as paper, ink and water.
“We managed to convert 172 kilograms of plastic into 2000 signs. This means that, in addition to giving this material value, disposable products were replaced by a durable and permanent one, thus promoting the circular economy,” says Ignacio Narváez, co-founder and CEO of Upcycling, the company that developed the project.
