Sustainable Evolution: The Transition to 100% Recycled Aluminum Road Signs

The road and street furniture industry is facing an exciting transformation, in which Climate Signs is leading the way with a groundbreaking innovation called CirQ – the road sign made of 100% recycled aluminum. The story behind this revolution is an inspiring journey full of innovation and sustainability.

Demand for green solutions and innovation in raw materials

Slowly, awareness is beginning to grow among managers of road and street furniture. The demand for green and sustainable products and services is steadily increasing. Despite all this, however, there are still administrators who are reluctant to switch to the BIO traffic signs that are now available in different raw material varieties.

Traditional road signs are made of aluminum sheet material, covered with a layer of coating and a reflective sticker. This is not an environmentally friendly or carbon-reducing product. However, the sustainable evolution of the road sign has taken place gradually. Some time ago, manufacturers already began experiments focusing on the use of bio-based materials such as bamboo and rice husk. Unfortunately, these materials did not always withstand the challenges of outdoor spaces and were not reusable, or circular.

A step toward a greener future With recycled aluminum road sign

To ensure that the sustainable transition of road signs does become future-proof, a number of companies have begun to develop unique, circular and sustainable alternatives.

Climate Signs has pioneered this by creating traffic signs made entirely of recycled aluminum (the CirQ traffic sign). This innovative alternative has significantly less environmental impact than new aluminum traffic signs. Thus, any administrator can still make a sustainable and circular choice and stay true to using aluminum as a raw material, as has always been the case.

As a pioneer in sustainable and circular innovation, Climate Signs has played a crucial role in the transformation of road and street furniture. With the traffic sign made of 100% recycled aluminum, we show that innovation and sustainability go hand in hand.

Integration of the CirQ Traffic Sign

Together, let’s build a world where our streets are not only safer, but also more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Together we strive for a future where every step forward brings us closer to a greener and better world.
