Change is coming…

Installations of EcoPoste throughout North America.

Change is coming and EcoPoste recycled plastic signposts are helping communities future‑proof their infrastructure by combining long‑term value, environmental stewardship, and safer streets for residents. EcoPoste North is the North American distributor of EcoPoste signposts, providing 100% recycled plastic signposts for communities across Canada and the United States. These signposts are engineered to improve road and pedestrian safety while replacing traditional wood and steel posts that are more resource‑intensive and less sustainable.

Communities are already installing EcoPoste signposts in a variety of settings, from historic districts, to high traffic roads and highways, to busy public spaces.

• City of Louisville, Colorado: Public spaces and parks installed EcoPoste posts to test performance through winter freeze, summer heat, and daily wear from maintenance equipment.

• Annapolis, Maryland: EcoPoste signposts installed in front of the Thomas Hyde House, a 256‑year‑old historic building, as part of the city’s broader sustainability and safety efforts.

• Installations across Europe and South America: Thousands of EcoPoste posts are already in the ground internationally, proving the concept before expansion in North America.

• Growing deployments in Canadian and U.S. municipalities: EcoPoste North distributes round, square, and rectangular signposts to communities across both countries, supporting upgrades from metal and treated wood.

How Communities See Long‑Term Value

Municipal leaders and public works teams view EcoPoste signposts as long‑term infrastructure investments rather than short‑term purchases.

• Durability and low maintenance: The posts are rot‑proof, rust‑proof, pest‑proof, fire‑proof, and weather‑proof, so they do not require frequent replacement or treatment.

• Lifecycle savings: Because they withstand harsh weather, UV exposure, and impacts with little to no maintenance, communities see reduced labour, material costs, and disruption over the life of the asset.

• Resilience in extreme conditions: In places facing wildfires, heat waves, or severe winters, the posts’ resistance to flames and deformation means critical signage stays in place when residents need it most.

• Circular product lifecycle: After a collision or at the end of their service life, EcoPoste posts can be recycled back into new posts, reinforcing a circular economy approach that communities want to support.

Environmental Benefits Communities Value

EcoPoste signposts are designed as a “two‑for‑one” solution: they help protect the environment while improving safety.

• 100% recycled plastic: Each post is made entirely from recycled household plastics such as detergent containers and bottles, diverting material that would otherwise end up in landfills or oceans.

• Significant waste diversion: EcoPoste facilities process roughly 15-20 tons of plastic per day, turning waste into durable infrastructure instead of landfill volume.

• Forest protection: For every 1,000 EcoPoste signposts installed, communities can save more than 400 trees compared with using treated wood signposts.

• No toxic treatments: Unlike wooden posts that often rely on chemical preservatives, EcoPoste signposts are non‑toxic and do not leach harmful substances into soil or groundwater.

Safety Benefits for Citizens

Beyond sustainability, communities choose EcoPoste because of the posts’ proven safety performance for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians.

• MASH crash‑tested and approved: EcoPoste has passed rigorous MASH testing, making it the first and only eco‑friendly signpost approved for use on North American roads and highways.

• Highest safety rating: The posts carry the highest safety rating for road sign supports, reducing risk to vehicle occupants during collisions.

• Structural integrity in fires: The posts resist ignition and do not significantly deform under high heat, which helps keep critical wayfinding and warning signs visible during wildfires and other emergencies.

• Public recognition: EcoPoste has been recognized as a “Best New Product” at the PWX Conference in 2024, signaling broad support from public works professionals for its combined safety and sustainability profile.

EcoPoste North’s installations show a clear pattern: communities are prioritizing infrastructure that protects both people and the planet over the long term. By choosing crash‑tested, 100% recycled signposts that save trees, divert plastic waste, and reduce maintenance demands, municipal leaders can deliver safer, cleaner streets that their citizens will benefit from for decades to come.
