A significant amount of signage is used each year and typically this is made from a PVC plastic called Foamex.

This project is now looking at using an alternative product for a majority of signs and boards. The alternative product called Akyprint is made from polypropylene.

This is less harmful to the enviroment in its manufacture and is also more recyclable at its end of life.

Protec’s closed loop recycling scheme is able to recycle this product as it is manufactured from the same material as their proplex temporary sheeting.
