Environmental impact:
Upcycling billboard banners to make a range of stationery accessories has a significant positive environmental impact. By repurposing these durable, weather-resistant materials, we prevent them from ending up in landfills, where they would take years to degrade. This process reduces the demand for virgin materials like plastic or synthetic fabrics, conserving energy and raw resources used in manufacturing. It also cuts down on carbon emissions associated with both production and waste management. Furthermore, this upcycling initiative encourages a circular economy, promoting sustainability by giving new life to materials that would otherwise be discarded.
