Sustainability in End of Life Textiles

At Selby’s, we recycle textiles at a fibre plant that recovers polyester and diverts textiles away from landfill.

We remove all plastic, silicon, and metal fixtures from the fabric then send it to the plant.

The textile recycling plant turns your old polyester flags and banners into a resource; it is broken down to its base elements and becomes the building block for new polyester products.

Environmentally Friendly Inks

Our Karibu inks contain no NVC, a toxic compound found in many conventional UV inks. These inks are Greenguard Gold certified, which means that it meets strict criteria for the safety of susceptible individuals such as children and the elderly. These make our products safe for use in schools and healthcare facilities.

Energy-Efficient Printing

Our printing equipment saves not only your budget but also natural resources. All of our flatbed and roll-to-roll printers are highly energy-efficient, as evidenced by their ISO 20690:2018 certification.

Sustainability in Fasteners

We reuse all clips from the City of Melbourne banners when returned to us at the end of life. The banners are then recycled into polyester products.

We now stock ball bungees as a reusable alternative to cable ties for special events.

Sustainability in Textile Resources

We have both mainstream and sustainable options for all our substrates where possible. We are now able to source polyester textiles created from recycled water bottles.

Sustainability in Corflute

We have partnered with our corflute manufacturer Corex who has a fantastic corflute stewardship program called Corex Recycling; any corflute scraps or end-of-life signage can be returned to their manufacturing facility where it is reformed into new corflute.
