Creative Ways to Recycle Old Vinyl Banners

6/26/2024

Let's Start A Conversation:

While we love to extend the life of our vinyl banners as much as possible, there comes a time where all banners, especially those used for retail promotions, must retire. What exactly can you do with your old banners so that they don’t go to waste?

Get Crafty: Make Something New

One of the most popular and simple ways to recycle old vinyl banners is by transforming them into durable tote bags. Custom tote bags are not only sturdy but also waterproof, making them perfect for shopping, beach trips or daily use.

Creative wall decor and floor mats are another great option for recycling your banners into something new and practical – the craftier, the better.

Reuse Them as Weather-Resistant Tarps

If you don’t want to transform them into something new, you can easily repurpose your old banners into weather-resistant tarps and covers.

Vinyl banners are designed to withstand various weather conditions, making them ideal for outdoor use and perfect for covering merchandise, equipment or vehicles. Repurposing them as covers for outdoor furniture is another great way to extend their lifecycle and save money.

Donate Them

Donating banners helps reduce waste, supports local organizations and promotes a positive image for your business within the community. Even though your business may be ready to upgrade your old vinyl banners, they can still be useful and serve a valuable purpose for others.

Community Centers

Donating your banners to local organizations can extend their life while also benefiting the community. Non-profits, community groups and recreational centers can use them in a variety of ways – including table covers, outdoor tarps and floor mats.

Local Art Schools or Colleges

Contact any local art schools and colleges where students might be able to repurpose your banners as materials for future art projects.

Recycling old vinyl banners is an excellent way for businesses to embrace sustainability and creativity. Not only does it benefit the environment, but it also enhances your brand's image as a responsible and innovative business. While recycling and repurposing your old banners, it’s also important to consider your needs and goals for new custom branded banners.
