Greenguard Gold Certified

The internationally recognised Greenguard Gold certificate ensures that a product, such as the inks we use is acceptable for the use in environments like schools and healthcare facilities. This is a non-negotiable requirement for many of our customers and we are proud to uphold these standards.

  • ExpandaSign endeavours to be environmentally responsible: whether it’s our manufacturing processes, our marketing materials or our recycling initiatives.

  • We have strict processes in place to govern recycling of our wastepaper and fabric.

  • We use recyclable polyester. Once recycled it can be used to make plastic, concrete and clothing, increasing landfill life and reducing toxic incinerator emissions.

  • All our inks are water based and non-toxic.
  • Our fibreglass and aluminium hardware is extremely durable and can be reused when you need to update your graphics.
  • We have significantly reduced our own printed paper advertising, doing more via online downloads and digital versions of our product flyers and brochures.

  • Above all, we build our products to last, unlike so many inferior products available today.

Sustainable Textiles for the Future

At ExpandaSign, sustainability is a fundamental part of our brand’s DNA. It is something that we as a team are extremely passionate about and we’re constantly pioneering new ways in which sustainability remains at the forefront of our supply chain and product development.

Environmental sustainability is no longer just a buzzword, and ethical manufacturers such as ourselves, are challenged to find a balance between providing consumers with high-quality textiles and doing so in an environmentally sustainable way.

Our biggest and most enterprising drive towards sustainability, is the development of our very own 100% rPET fabric, made entirely from South African PET waste — with full traceability.

Why is traceability so important?

As a vertically integrated business, we believe that traceability guarantees our customers that we can provide full transparency and accountability throughout our supply chain. Traceability not only guarantees the origin of our products and raw materials, but also proves that they meet the highest standards — something that is paramount when utilising recycled content.

So why rPET fabric?

With so much significance being placed on utilising rPET fabric for reusable shopping bags, we endeavoured on pushing the boundaries to showcase how versatile this game-changing fabric really is.

With the need to further enhance our sustainability efforts, as well as find a real solution for plastic pollution in South Africa, the House of Canvex was born.

Through this brand, we can provide interior decorators/designers, property developers, corporate South Africa and fabric houses with an ethical and sustainable product that is fully customised and isn’t affected by problems associated to stock levels and supply chain issues — which are traditionally associated with the current status quo within the interior textile industry.

Passion — Quality — Innovation — Service

We’re proud to be doing our best for the environment, through using best practises and continuously improving the way we do things. Where possible we always choose to use eco-friendly products, for NZ’s future.

Not only are we conscious of our responsibilities in NZ, we also support our parent companies’ Uzwelo initiative which minimises our impact on the environment, provides local skills development and contributes towards conservation in South Africa.
