Ecophab™ is a great example of a true up-cylced product. This means that the product after being recycled is used for an equal or greater purpose. Ecophab™ uses recycled soda bottles or polyethylene terephthalate (PET) containers that are collected from recycling center. These bottles are melted down and turned into fiber strands that are then woven in a printable fabric. Banner Creations prints all Ecophab™ banners with water base inks.
Ecophab™ was used as a case study in the Green Paper that was published by the SEGD last years. This case study shows a project that Banner Creations did for the Minnesota State Fair’s Eco Experience Exhibit in 2006 and outlines the environmental benefits of the material based on the keys areas of focus for environmental graphic design.
