Headquartered in Mendota Springs, Minnesota, Relan says they are on a mission to create a more sustainable future for generations to come. Relan began in 1995 as a way to keep vinyl banners out of the landfill. The name “Relan” means reinventing fashion. Using these materials, bags were created to sell primarily in boutique stores. Today, Relan still focuses on keeping vinyl out of the landfills, but we are so much more than a bag company. In 2014, they were named to the GameChangers500 list as part of the world’s top For-Benefit companies and the organizations they partner with have helped keep over 300,000 square feet of material out of landfills, close the loop on a current waste stream, and benefit the triple bottom line.

At Minneapolis based Billboard Tarps, they came up with a simple idea: take the large vinyl sheets used for billboard signs and repurpose them as tarps, covers, liners, and many other applications. The idea took off, and today they are one of the largest suppliers of reused flexed vinyl in the country.

When you “upcycle” used billboard vinyl, it doesn’t just save you money—it saves the planet too. Over the years, they’ve put millions of pounds of material to use rather than to landfills.
