If you live in a city of any population you may see at least one or two billboards while driving down the street—if that’s the case you are one lucky SOB! Most of those billboards use vinyl for the printing, and almost all of them get chucked to the trash: that’s a staggering 3 million a year in the US. That’s 10,000 tons of waste, a lump of marketing. Rubbish that will eventually make its way to a landfill and sit there for..uhhhmm,…I don’t know…a very long ass time; vinyl is non biodegradable.

With this in mind some savvy companies got together to benefit from this billboard marketing waste. Terracycle and Yakpak will be turning these oversized Ads to messenger bags, backpacks and more.

It’s a great way to help the earth and recycle material that is fated for a one time use with a lifetime of waste.
