Description
A statement-piece in the form of a pencil bag – that’s what these are! With the typical whimsical character of reclaimed billboard prints, these bags stand out from the crowd both in terms of looks and sustainability…
After all, there is no way to recycle billboard banners that outlive their campaigns, and it takes decades before it even starts to decompose in landfills. Keeping it out of landfill is currently the best we can do – and the creative team at Upcycle are constantly finding practical and innovative ways to do so! Plus it also saves on resources that would otherwise have produced new materials for making similar items.
The pencil bag is waterproof with a zipper. Simply wipe down with soapy damp cloth to clean. Being made from billboard vinyl, it is UV stable, extremely strong and made to last.
Note the colours and motives are completely random, being made from waste there is little standardisation of colours and each item is unique. Please specify in the order notes if you want a specific look, and we’ll try to match it if it’s available, but no guarantees. Otherwise, we’ll find something special for you based on what is available.

| Material Notes | Billboard fabric uses various types of plastic, melded with synthetic and natural fibres in a way that is very durable and takes ages to decompose – current estimates say it takes 20 years before it even starts to degrade! There is also currently no way to recycle billboard fabric, so the creative Upcycle team is finding brilliant applications to keep waste billboards out of the landfill! |
