PP boards, made of recyclable polypropylene, have low production energy consumption and few pollutants. They’re reusable, release no toxins, some degrade naturally, fitting circular economy and eco-friendly needs. The sustainability and environmental performance of PP boards, when used as billboards, not only have multiple advantages but also a wide range of specific applications.
Various Advantages
In terms of advantages, from the perspective of the material itself, PP boards are mainly made of polypropylene, which is a recyclable thermoplastic. After being discarded, it can be melted and reshaped through professional processes to produce new PP products, reducing resource waste and the amount of garbage landfilled, which is in line with the concept of circular economy. In the production process, the processing energy consumption of PP boards is relatively low, and there are few pollutants such as waste gas and wastewater generated, resulting in a lighter carbon emission and environmental load in the production link compared with some traditional advertising materials (such as wood and glass). When used as billboards, PP boards have a long service life and can be reused many times, reducing material consumption caused by frequent replacement. At the same time, they do not release toxic and harmful substances during use, and unlike paper billboards, they are not prone to generating a lot of debris pollution due to moisture and wear, so they are more friendly to the environment. In addition, some modified PP boards can degrade slowly in the natural environment under certain conditions, which can reduce the risk of long-term environmental residues and further enhance their environmental protection attributes as billboards.
Specific Applications
IIn specific applications, in green-themed exhibitions or environmental protection activities, they can be made into publicity display boards. Their environmental protection attributes are consistent with the concept of the activities, strengthening the effect of environmental protection publicity. In shopping malls, supermarkets and other places, they are used as promotional billboards, which can be recycled and reused after long-term use, reducing the generation of waste. Outdoor public welfare advertisements are also suitable for using PP boards. Even if they are exposed to the natural environment for a long time, they can reduce the impact on the ecology through recycling after being discarded. For advertising scenarios that need to change content frequently, such as community notice board advertisements, PP boards can be reused, reducing material consumption and practicing the concept of environmental protection
Comparison of Common Advertising Board Materials
Material | Physical Properties | Environmental Adaptability | Processing & Printing Characteristics | Cost & Lifespan | Typical Application Scenarios |
PP Board | Density 0.90-0.91g/cm³, lightweight; moderate rigidity, good bending resistance, resistant to slight impact; weak resistance to heavy pressure | Excellent water resistance (water absorption < 0.01%), suitable for short-term outdoor use (3-6 months) and humid environments; prone to aging under long-term exposure to sunlight, softens above 60℃ | Easy to cut and weld, low processing cost; smooth surface, compatible with UV printing and screen printing, strong pattern adhesion; difficult to process complex shapes | Cost 10-30 yuan/㎡, high cost performance; 1-3 years indoors, <1 year outdoors | Promotional posters, bathroom reminder signs |
PVC Board | Density 1.3-1.4g/cm³, medium weight; better rigidity than PP board, strong impact resistance | Good weather resistance (1-3 years outdoors), waterproof and moisture-proof, resistant to acid and alkali corrosion; prone to embrittlement at low temperatures and deformation at high temperatures | Cuttable and heat-bendable, good processability; surface suitable for printing and film lamination, high color reproduction; welded joints prone to cracking | Cost 20-50 yuan/㎡; 3-5 years indoors, 1-3 years outdoors | Lightbox panels, fixed shopping mall display boards |
Acrylic Board | Density 1.18-1.2g/cm³, lightweight; high transparency (92%), good surface gloss, strong impact resistance | Strong weather resistance (3-5 years outdoors), UV-resistant (requires UV stabilizers); not scratch-resistant, prone to scratches | Easy to cut and polish, suitable for laser engraving; bright printing colors, ideal for high-end displays; high processing cost | Cost 80-200 yuan/㎡; 5-8 years indoors, 3-5 years outdoors | Brand image walls, high-end showcase signs |
Aluminum Alloy Board | Density 2.7g/cm³, relatively heavy; high strength, good rigidity, strong impact and pressure resistance, not easy to deform | Extremely strong weather resistance (5-10 years outdoors), UV-resistant, resistant to high and low temperatures (-40℃ to 80℃), rust-proof | Cutting and bending require professional equipment, high processing cost; surface needs pretreatment (e.g., sandblasting) for printing, average adhesion | Cost 100-300 yuan/㎡; 5-10 years outdoors | Large outdoor billboards, subway light boxes |
KT Board | Density 0.1-0.2g/cm³, extremely lightweight; very poor rigidity, easy to bend and break, unable to bear weight | Only suitable for dry indoor environments, completely non-waterproof, moisture-sensitive and sun-sensitive, damaged within 1 hour outdoors | Easy to cut (with utility knife), low processing threshold; only suitable for simple inkjet printing, patterns prone to wear | Cost 1-5 yuan/㎡; 1-4 weeks indoors, <1 day outdoors | Temporary exhibition backdrops, short-term notices |
Aluminum-Plastic Composite Board | Density 1.3-1.5g/cm³, medium weight; combines metal strength with plastic toughness, good bending resistance | Good weather resistance (3-7 years outdoors), UV-resistant, rainproof, stable at -30℃ to 70℃; edges prone to water absorption and bubbling | Cuttable and bondable, better processability than pure metal; surface aluminum layer suitable for spraying and screen printing, good pattern adhesion | Cost 30-80 yuan/㎡; 3-7 years outdoors | Building exterior wall advertisements, medium-sized display boards |
