Ecobanner is the first product of its kind to be manufactured in Australia with closed loop recycling capability. This eco-friendly banner material not only supports local manufacturing but also aligns with the growing demand for sustainable and environmentally responsible products.
Ecobanner is the winner of the 2024 Sustainability Award at the World Out of Home Organization (WOO) Awards. This is claimed to be a ground-breaking move for the Sign & Display market as Ecobanner can be recycled back into the same product, avoiding landfill.

The polypropylene composition makes it a robust and versatile material, perfect for both indoor and outdoor applications, by ensuring durability and vibrant print quality on a latex and UV Inkjet printing technology. Ecobanner is available in Back-Lit (white/white) and Front-Lit (grey/white) banner options, in 1600mm or 3200mm roll widths.
Ecobanner is part of a traceable full circular-loop program, allowing for the complete recycling and repurposing of used banners. This contributes to a sustainable lifecycle and minimizes environmental impact. Unlike greenwashing claims, this 'Closed Loop Program' is already in full swing, and its impact is measurable, demonstrating a genuine commitment to sustainability.
A new standard for environmental stewardship
Rob Brussolo, Ball & Doggett General Manager – Sign, Display & Digital, says: “We are thrilled to bring Ecobanner to the Australian market. This initiative underscores our commitment to providing innovative, high-quality, and sustainable solutions to our customers. Ecobanner not only meets the rigorous demands of flexible banner advertising but also sets a new standard for environmental stewardship in our industry.”
Healthy stock volumes of Ecobanner are now available across all Ball & Doggett locations. Ecobanner is well-positioned for the signage market and for socially-conscious business brands aiming to enhance their sustainability narrative.
Ball & Doggett’s extensive distribution network and deep market knowledge will ensure that Ecobanner reaches a wide array of customers, from local businesses to large enterprises, empowering them to make sustainable choices for their advertising and signage needs.
