Tradeprint launches new banner return scheme
S
cottish commercial printer, Tradeprint has launched its new pilot
scheme for returning printed display banners, with the aim to significantly reduce the environmental impact of PVC and PVC-free display banners. The scheme enables customers to return used banners to be recycled, with the collected materials repurposed into infrastructure products, including traffic cones and road barriers.
Tradeprint is working closely with Antalis, for the project, utilising its UK depot network as regional drop-off
points, with the aim of the collaboration to overcome logistical barriers to banner recycling, while also being scalable. The pilot, which went live on January 5, includes educational resources for customers, return incentives, and data on the CO2 savings of returns. The initiative has also received early backing by Jon Hutton, director at FESPA UK Association, environmental services company Reconomy, and the IPIA. Anthony Rowell, sales and customer success director for Tradeprint, said: “Recycling isn’t just about recovery; it’s about respect for resources, for the planet, and for future generations.
