Banco Galicia: banner upcycling.
REZET Global did the upcycling. REZET Hub worked alongside them on the metrics, so Banco Galicia could share its impact with a record behind every figure.
Proof
From a soiled banner to a notebook sleeve.
Banco Galicia invested in transforming the material rather than paying for its disposal, putting the budget into craftsmanship, durability and a product with genuine material value.
The material had more value left in it. With creativity, innovation and a trained eye, what others see as waste can be recognised for what it still has to offer, then redesigned around a new purpose without losing the story of where it came from.
Evidence
Making Impact Traceable, Transparent & Verifiable.
More than 202 m² of banners recovered from the Expoagro stand and transformed into notebook sleeves.
REZET Global did the upcycling. REZET Hub worked alongside them on the metrics, so Banco Galicia could share its impact with a record behind every figure.
Recovered in the state it was left
Banners collected after a dismantling that treated them as clearance, not as material: crumpled, wet, heavily soiled.
Value recovered, and value lost
Cleaning and reconditioning brought part of it back. Part did not come back, and that is recorded too — a loss that is declared is worth more than a total that hides it.
Cut around the damage
The pattern was drawn to work around stained and creased areas, so the sleeve is specified by what the surviving surface allows.
250 sleeves, each one traceable
Every piece can be followed back to the 202 m² that came in. The point of this case is that the number could have been larger, and why.
Outcome
From event banners to everyday notebook sleeves.
Banco Galicia
More than 202 m² of banners from Banco Galicia's Expoagro stand were transformed into notebook sleeves. The material arrived crumpled, wet and heavily soiled: material integrity is determined at the point of discard, and without disciplined handling its potential is irreversibly reduced. Made by 7 people in social impact workshops.
Why measure
An impact claim is only as strong as its record.
- Every figure in an impact report should trace back to what was actually recovered, weighed and made.
- When the metrics are built together with the operator, the report is ready to share with clients and sustainability teams.
