Is Your Storage Room a Graveyard or a Goldmine?
“We’ll deal with those banners later.”
It’s a phrase heard in marketing departments everywhere. Right now, thousands of square feet of high-grade, vertical mesh banners from iconic venues like The Paramount, The Moore, and The Neptune are sitting in the dark, taking up expensive storage space.
At Ecologic Designs, we don’t see a storage problem. We see a raw material goldmine.
The Seattle Theatre Group (STG) is the non-profit heartbeat of the Pacific Northwest, operating three of Seattle’s most historic venues. To promote their Broadway shows, concerts, and dance performances, they utilize massive mesh banners that line downtown street poles.
While these banners are designed for high-performance durability, their “life” usually ends when the show closes. STG wanted a better way to honor their visual legacy.
The Transformation: From Street Pole to Shoulder Bag
We partnered with STG to give these banners an encore. By harvesting the retired material, we created the STG upcycled mesh totes
INNOVATION IN EVERY STITCH. SUSTAINABILITY IN EVERY STEP.
Why Mesh is the Hero Material:
- Breathable & Lightweight: The industrial weave makes these totes perfect for gym gear, groceries, or the beach.
- Indestructible Quality: Built to survive Seattle’s wind and rain, these bags are virtually tear-proof.
- Wearable History: Every bag is a unique “cut” of a show’s history—no two are identical.
The Impact: Beyond the Bottom Line
By choosing to upcycle, STG has successfully:
-
Diverted thousands of square feet of non-biodegradable vinyl from Washington landfills.
-
Eliminated storage costs for retired marketing materials.
-
Created a mission-driven product that resonates with patrons, donors, and staff.
