Green in the city

Author: Amanda

While I’ve worked in Columbus for the past few years, it was only within the last six months that I started to live inside of Columbus. It was then I realized how hard it was to recycle in Columbus, and I’m still trying to find closer locations of recycling bins to where I live, I just can’t make myself throw it all away to sit in a landfill when I know they can become something else, first hand, because many of the products I work with are Green products that have been recycled.

The number one thing being coroplast, corrugated plastic, that’s the material most used for yard signs. I’m sure you’ve seen them on the side of the street with a little wire stake in it to hold it up, you’ve certainly seen them during the heavy months of political elections. Coroplast isn’t always used for yard signs, sometimes it’s used to make bigger signs, the sheets come as large a 4′ x 8′ and in a variety of color. The next biggest recycled material we use is scooterboard, it’s like wood, a tough durable material used as inserts in real estate frames.

Now, if you’ve spent any time looking through our gallery of finished works, I’m sure you’ll see that yard signs and real estate signs are a good portion of our sales. And they’re not our only Green products; we also have items like bamboo pop up stands for trade shows and High Density Polyethylene used for routed signs. So really, I just can’t make myself stop recycling, it would be bad for business.
