EcoPoste North is proud to be part of the 2025 Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) Conference in Quebec City, connecting with municipalities, provincial ministries, engineering consultants, and construction firms from across the country. As a Canadian-based company, this gathering is an important opportunity for us to collaborate with the decision-makers shaping the future of our roads and public spaces in Canada and to showcase our safer, more sustainable solution to conventional signposts.

As wildfires unfortunately intensify once again across North America, communities and infrastructure face unprecedented challenges. One often-overlooked casualty of forest fires is roadside signage—essential for safety, navigation, and emergency response. Traditional wooden and metal signposts are highly vulnerable to flames and extreme heat, leading to costly replacements and potential hazards. EcoPoste North offers a sustainable and resilient solution: 100% recycled plastic signposts engineered to withstand the harshest environments, including active forest fires.

When you think about environmental change, you might picture vast forests, sprawling solar farms, or electric cars. But sometimes, the biggest impact comes from the smallest places—like a signpost.

At EcoPoste North, we’ve made it our mission to turn something ordinary into something extraordinary for the planet.

The Franklin County Career & Technology Center along with The Chambersburg Area Career Magnet School became the first High Schools in the United States to install EcoPoste signposts on their campuses.

The City of Annapolis, Maryland, also known as the 'Sailing Capital of North America' because of the Chesapeake Bay, has taken a significant step towards sustainability and safety with their first installation of an EcoPoste signpost. It stands proudly in front of the Thomas Hyde House, a historic federal-style building constructed in 1769.

This installation represents a perfect blend of Annapolis's rich history and its commitment to a greener, safer future. The Thomas Hyde House, now 256 years old, has witnessed centuries of American history and the addition of EcoPoste signposts demonstrates how modern sustainability can complement historical preservation.

MASH tested and approved … but what is it?

MASH (Manual for Assessing Safety Hardware) is the industry standard for crash testing and evaluating roadside safety devices in North America. Developed by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) in collaboration with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), MASH provides uniform guidelines to ensure that roadside hardware—such as signposts, guardrails, barriers, and crash cushions—performs effectively in real-world collision scenarios.

In an era where sustainability is no longer just a buzzword but a necessity, it's time we take a closer look at something we often overlook: signposts. These have a bigger environmental impact than you might think. Let's dive into why traditional signposts are problematic and how recycled plastic is revolutionizing this industry.

At EcoPoste, we believe that recycling is not just an environmental choice; it’s a necessity for the health of our planet and future generations. With global waste skyrocketing to an estimated 11.2 billion tons annually, and approximately just 9% of total plastic production being recycled, the need for effective recycling practices has never been more urgent. As a company committed to sustainability, we recognize that the current waste crisis is a significant challenge.

In recent years, the shift towards sustainability has transformed industries from construction to outdoor signage. One of the most significant innovations has been the use of recycled materials as eco-friendly alternatives to traditional options. For businesses and municipalities looking to install long-lasting outdoor signage, the choice between treated wood and EcoPoste recycled signposts becomes an important decision. Let’s take a closer look at both materials and explore why EcoPoste may be the superior choice for durability, environmental impact, and cost-effectiveness.

As global awareness about the environmental impact of deforestation grows, industries are looking for ways to reduce their reliance on natural resources—particularly wood. One area where significant progress can be made is in road safety infrastructure. Traditional wooden signposts contribute to the depletion of forests, while modern, sustainable alternatives like EcoPoste’s 100% recycled plastic signposts provide a solution that not only saves trees but also offers numerous environmental and practical benefits.

As we push toward a more sustainable future, it’s essential that every aspect of infrastructure, including road safety, becomes part of the solution. One innovative way to achieve this is through the use of recycled plastic for road safety products. Recycled plastic offers a range of benefits over traditional materials like wood or metal. Here’s why using recycled plastic is not only good for the environment but also for road safety.

Choosing recycled plastic for road safety contributes to the circular economy by reusing materials that would otherwise end up in landfills or oceans. Every EcoPoste signpost, for instance, is made from 100% recycled plastic, which helps reduce the need for virgin resources like wood and metal​.
