Recycled aluminium traffic signs beside a road

Clear routes. Considered raw materials.

Sustainable traffic signs

Familiar traffic information with a different material foundation. Choose biobased composite, bamboo or a fully recycled aluminium substrate for your site or infrastructure project.

Renewable and recycled raw materialsDesigned around your siteFrom sign to fixing

Sustainable logistics

The same clear message. A considered substrate.

Parking, indicating a direction or marking a situation: a traffic sign must be immediately recognisable. The substrate behind the reflective face offers opportunities to choose different raw materials.

01

Biobased composite

A pressed substrate made from reed, chalk and bioresin. Recovered materials gain a strong new purpose behind familiar traffic information.

Bamboo

A strong, lightweight substrate with a visible natural structure on the rear. A distinctive choice for routes in green surroundings.

Recycled aluminium

A substrate made from 100% recycled aluminium. Its formed edge provides strength and the construction includes a drainage opening.

Materials & specification

A considered choice for your application.

BlinkOut compares the material options with your site, sign types and use. We specify the substrate, reflectivity, dimensions and mounting as one complete solution.

Sign types & graphics
Options include parking signs, directions, warnings and supplementary plates. Type, shape and size determine the available specification.
Reflectivity & visibility
Reflective faces and bespoke site information. For public roads, we agree the sign specification, reflectivity class and product documentation with the road authority.
Mounting
To a post, bracket or suitable structure. We check the fixing system and connection positions for each substrate.
Ordering & replacement
From a single sign to a coordinated site-wide series. Existing posts and fixings can be reused following assessment.

Materials & specification

Three material routes, one clear purpose.

The sustainability characteristics relate to the selected substrate. Reflective film, printing and fixings are separate parts of the complete specification.

Positive material properties at a glance. Each percentage relates to the named substrate or material layer.

Biobased composite

Composition
Reed fibres, chalk and bioresin are pressed into a dimensionally stable panel. Reed comes from habitat management, chalk from drinking-water softening and bioresin uses residues from the biofuel industry.
Suitable use
For recognisable traffic information on a biobased substrate.

Impact

Substrate

Reed, chalk and bioresin

  • Recovered materials as a foundation

    Uses materials from habitat management, water treatment and the biofuel industry.

  • Strong and dimensionally stable

    Pressed composite provides a sturdy substrate for traffic information.

  • Raw material for another use

    The composite can be ground for new products through a suitable material recovery route.

Bamboo backs of traffic signs beside a cycle route

Bamboo

Composition
A strong, scratch-resistant and lightweight substrate based on bamboo. Its natural appearance is particularly visible on the rear.
Suitable use
For sites and routes suited to a natural appearance.

Impact

Substrate

Bamboo

  • Renewable raw material

    Bamboo forms the foundation of the substrate.

  • Natural appearance

    Recognisable bamboo structure gives the rear of the sign its own character.

  • Strength at a low weight

    A lightweight substrate that is practical to transport and install.

Traffic signs with recycled aluminium substrates beside a road

Recycled aluminium

Composition
An aluminium substrate with a reinforced edge and drainage opening. Manufacture of this substrate does not require a painted finish.
Suitable use
For traffic, parking and infrastructure using a recycled metal base.

Impact

Substrate

Recycled aluminium

100% recycled materialAluminium in the substrate; excluding reflective film, printing and fixings.

  • Aluminium used again

    Recovered metal gains a new purpose as a traffic sign.

  • Efficient construction

    The reinforced edge provides stiffness and an opening allows water to drain.

  • Designed for use and recovery

    After use, the metal substrate can be recovered through a suitable metal recycling route.

From material selection to its next destination.

Use the existing structure

Check posts and brackets first. A new sign may be able to use the existing mounting.

Keep information current

A coordinated sign series makes inspection and targeted replacement practical. We align design and location.

Separate the components

Substrate, film and fixings have their own material routes. Agree dismantling and collection for the selected specification.

Inspiration for your site

Examples of substrates and installation. We develop the sign type, graphics and mounting around your site.

  • Business parks & logistics sites
  • Parking & visitor routes
  • Local authorities & site managers

From your site to a clear route

  1. 01

    Location & use

    We consider routes, sightlines, visitors and available fixing points.

  2. 02

    Material & design

    Choose the substrate, shape, information and required reflectivity.

  3. 03

    Approval & production

    Review the selected specification and design before production.

  4. 04

    Installation & care

    We coordinate mounting, inspection and any future panel replacement.

Frequently asked questions

Which sustainable traffic signs are available?

Substrates include biobased composite, bamboo and recycled aluminium. We compare available types and dimensions with your site.

What is the biobased composite made from?

It combines reed, chalk and bioresin. Recovered materials from sources including habitat management and drinking-water softening gain a useful role.

Why consider bamboo?

Bamboo offers a strong, lightweight substrate with a natural finish. Its rear surface suits green routes and sites.

What does 100% recycled aluminium refer to?

The percentage refers to the aluminium in the substrate. Reflective film, printing, brackets and other fixings are excluded.

Can existing posts be reused?

We can often investigate this. We assess condition, dimensions and compatibility with the new sign before selecting the mounting.

Can you design a complete site route?

Certainly. From parking and reception to directions and supplementary plates, we create a coordinated, readable design.

Are signs available for public roads?

We agree the selected sign specification, reflectivity class and product documentation with the road authority’s requirements. This makes the material choice part of a suitable complete specification.
