Black Back Graphic Recycling
Save Graphics from Going to Landfill, Help the environment and Give to Charity - All in One
Considering Black Back Graphic Recycling?
Event waste is a growing problem – and with many of the fabrics used in the industry being thick and tricky to deal with, the vast majority is sent to landfill. Black back graphic recycling is easy with Calluna Upcycling – we can turn your unwanted graphics into gifts for your employees or clients, giving you great PR and helping the environment too!
Products are made in Shropshire by women who can not get full time employment, we have given them complete flexible working and pay a good wage per item for what they make!
We love giving these materials a new life, and to keep on giving we decided to donate 10% of our proceeds to charity! So not only are you protecting the environment, but you are supporting those in need too.
So much good comes from every order!
What Can Black Back Graphics Be Made Into?
All fabrics have very different properties so lend themselves to different end products. Black backed and grey backed graphics are pretty versatile fabrics and so lends itself to most of our product range. But due to its plastic backing, it does not bunch up so only works for drawstrings if we top it with a thinner fabric. Black back graphic recycling can be tricky as it is so tacky and stretches in the sewing process – so needs special treatment!
All items have the “I used to be a banner” label or “I used to be an exhibition stand” label appliqued to the front (unless you request otherwise), the Calluna C tag on the side and the care label sewn within. Should you ever finish with your product it can be returned to us so we can shred it and use it to fill our doorsteps and stage weights.

What are black back graphics?
Black back canvas is a versatile, durable fabric typically made from cotton or linen, backed with a grey or black plastic to prevent any light from coming through the fabric. Which makes it a great choice for stand graphics in the event industry, and blinds and curtains at home.
At Calluna Graphix, we specify canvas made by PONGS – As a leading international textile company, PONGS® is aware of its ecological responsibility. Their aim is not only to comply with the world’s highest environmental standards, but even to go well below the specified limit values. They use state-of-the-art energy and environmental technology to conserve resources, minimize the impact on the environment and produce climate-neutral products.
