| 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! It also contains new fabric from discarded old textile sample books, otherwise intended for landfill. |
