A Recyclable Rigid Substrate.
Graphics, displays and signage are a vast part of visual communication in our environments and therefore place a significant impact on sustainability practices. They enable our day to day communications in grocery stores, retail shops, homes, schools, and way-finding systems. With such a large reach, society has come to expect and place its trust in organizations to ensure the public’s safety and behave responsibly and sustainably.

The industry has transformed in the ways that manufacturers, suppliers and designers use sustainable practices in the creation of graphics, displays and signage worldwide. The challenge for environmentally friendly design is attributed to the origin of the materials in use. Focusing on recycled content and sustainable certifications can help businesses maintain the customer’s expectations of sustainability. At 3A Composites USA, the commitment to sustainability is apparent in our guiding principles of conservation, waste minimization and preservation. Today, our product life cycles not only start with sustainable practices but seek to promote sustainability post-use.
3A Composites USA is contributing to the ability of businesses to fulfill their promises of sustainability, health and human values by offering a rigid display board that is 100% paper and 100% recyclable.
