Upcycling in style: sustainable SBB ReMake bags made from departure posters
Although digitalization has not stopped at Swiss railroad stations and digital departure boards are very common, the traditional yellow departure boards still hang at every station. For many decades, they have faithfully provided passengers with information about the next train connection.
But what happens to the old posters when the annual timetable change is due and they are replaced? Throw them away? No. Upcycling? Yes, they can!
SBB awarded Pack Easy a project to design and manufacture new upcycling products. We used the old departure posters to design spacious shoppers and practical bag emptiers - each one unique in Switzerland. Produced in sunny Ticino and available exclusively in the SBB store.
Sustainability should continue to be guaranteed for the bags
Products that tell stories - a project from the heart
Roberto's enthusiasm for the project is palpable: "With their traces of use, the products tell a fascinating story from their previous life, when they were still 'in the service' of thousands of passengers. These traces of use make the product unique. Now it is up to each proud owner to write their own stories about the SBB ReMake Shopper."
