Work produced for AVBOB
AVBOB
Upcycle Creative has produced upcycled corporate products for AVBOB from diverted billboard PVC and banner material, including messenger bags, laptop bags and early-childhood-development mattress covers. The work was made through our community production network and delivered with recorded material and emissions figures AVBOB can report against.
The work
Across an ongoing body of work through 2025 and 2026, we have converted AVBOB’s redundant billboard vinyl and banner material into finished, usable products rather than sending it to landfill. Production has covered three main items:
- Messenger bags — cut and sewn from PVC vinyl with a banner-material lining.
- Laptop bags — produced from the same recovered billboard stock.
- ECD mattress covers — durable covers for early-childhood-development centres, made from recovered PVC.
Each item is made by trained makers in our community production network, so the same material that would have been waste becomes both a usable product and paid local work.
