SKRP Recycled Billboard Tote Bags
Tote bags made out of recycled Canadian billboards! How cool is that?!
Each tote is proudly handmade in Canada by SKRP using recycled outdoor vinyl billboards and lined with soft deadstock nylon fabric. Per SKRP: "Billboards stay up for about 4 to 8 weeks and when they're taken down, that's usually the end of the line, adding to more landfills. So we recycle them, clean them up, and turn them into beautiful new one-of-a-kind products including these tote bags. Outdoor billboards are made from a vinyl fabric, ideal material for your travels. Strong, durable, UV resistant, waterproof, and easy to clean."
No two bags are the same, so you are getting something completely unique! Thoughtfully designed and with a fun backstory, these roomy totes easily hold all of your essentials and will make a stylish, eco-chic statement wherever you go!

About SKRP (pronounced “scrap”)
Canadian made products that help promote the values of locally made and sustainability sourced without compromising on quality or style.
Hi! I’m Chris, the owner of SKRP. My family and I share a passion for the great outdoors and are always at home in nature. I spent a large part of my life in the wilderness all across Canada and beyond, canoeing many whitewater rivers as a guide in my twenties, also climbing on the west coast and camping with friends and family.
IN THE BEGINNING
SKRP came to be after a trip to Nova Scotia where my wife Kate and I stumbled into a board shop that sold rings made of old recycled skateboard decks. As soon as we got home from that trip I went to work making rings! Since then we have grown. We are always learning and we never stop experimenting. Sustainability has become our core focus as we now offer a full line of products repurposed from “end of life” Canadian billboards, skateboards and snowboards.
PROCESS
Everything Starts with a Broken Skateboard
I make small batches of wooden glasses here in Canada from broken and recycled skateboards that have been deemed completely unrideable and donated from shops and individuals from all around North America. The build process is only as fast as our hands can move and small details matter, the amount of machine time, hand sanding and finishing takes a certain mindset. Luckily I love it!
OUR GOAL
A SECOND CHANCE
We want to help the protection of our environment by keeping broken skateboards, snowboards, billboards and any other useable material we can find out of landfills. We have partnered with Canadian Outdoor Advertising companies, skateboard shops, ski hills (Fernie, Banff, etc.), US and Canadian distribution and manufacturing companies to keep as many boards and billboards out of the landfill as we can.
