Enviroplate Substrate
A greener, more durable sign substrate.
Reduce the Cost of Your Streetwork Signs by Switching to a More Durable Substrate
We helped develop Enviroplate as a greener substrate for Quick-Lock Posts and Temporary Signs. And it’s so good, we believe it makes some substrates obsolete. Because not only is it more durable and unlikely to break or bend out of shape. Which means signs last longer and are able to withstand deployment & on-site conditions. But it’s also made from 100% recycled materials that can be reclaimed and reused. So it lowers your costs and environmental impact too.
HIGH DURABILITY
Resistant to bending, breaking & corrosion.
DENSE COMPOUND
Produces clean edges when cut, drilled or engraved.
GREENER SUBSTRATE
A 100% recycled substrate that is recyclable.
UK SOURCED
Significantly lowers transportation emissions.
Enviroplate Durability
Make & Deploy Signs That Last
Enviroplate is our answer to temporary signs biggest problem, the substrate. Whatever you use, it struggles to cope with regular transport & on-site handling. Since it’s more durable than GRPolyplate and Composite, Enviroplate wont bend & damage your sign faces. And it’s resistant to standard impacts, chemicals and weathering. So your signs remain legible and effective for much longer too.
As a result of its dense structure, it’s highly resistant to the elements & will not breakdown and crumble. This also means it produces clean edges when cut, drilled and engraved. So you wont need to use brass eyelets for Quick-Fit toggle points.

Highways Safety Devices
As a Polypropylene Copolymer (PPC), Enviroplate is softer than general purpose homopolymers. But with better impact, higher stress and low temperature resistances. Moreover, polypropylene’s offer a combination of outstanding physical, mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties.
These traits also make it ideal for Highways Safety products like our Quick-Lock Posts & Cone Reflectors. Sheets can be laser-cut and routed, or thermally heated and folded to make products. And it’s compatible with Oralite Reflective films, used for common safety devices.

Case Study
Switch to Enviroplate For a More Viable & Greener Substrate Solution
Try a more sustainable temporary sign substrate that provides a greater return on cost. Enviroplate signs flex without breaking and generally last longer than the alternatives. But its most important value, is its fully recyclable green credentials.
