RMIT has always been up for making eco-friendly, cutting-edge design, but finding a way to give used vinyl billboards a new, practical and stylish lease of life was going to be a challenge.

After some investigation into new ideas and a creative collaboration with like-minded Melbourne company haul, RMIT has come up with a funky and functional solution to sending its used billboard skins to landfill.

RMIT’s vinyl advertising banners are being given a second lease of life as unique, practical products, such as messenger bags and laptop sleeves. The RMIT-branded messenger bags, document covers and laptop sleeves exude refined eco-chic style and are ultra functional and will last for years.

The partnership with haul stems from a shared commitment to reducing Melbourne’s carbon footprint and the new range of recycled products is fully certified by Good Environmental Choice Australia.

As well as being eco credible, RMIT’s products are ideal if you’re after something chic and unique. Each item uses a different part of the banner, formerly used to advertise events such as RMIT Open Day, so you can be assured that every accessory is one of a kind.

Whether you’re a street-savvy student, a soon-to-be grad who wants a unique uni memento or simply a Melbournite who wants style with an eco edge, these products are sure to hit the spot.
