Environmental Responsibility

The outdoor advertising industry is and always has been made up of responsible corporate citizens. Being responsible to customers, communities, and our world means taking responsibility for careful stewardship of the environment.

The outdoor advertising industry works diligently to make itself as environmentally friendly as possible. In 2010, the industry nearly quadrupled the amount of billboard substrates it recycles, from 1 million to 3.7 million pounds. Outdoor advertising companies are working to lessen their carbon footprints, and they are being encouraged to join certified programs recognizing environmental excellence.

An OAAA committee continuously evaluates the industry’s environmental practices and make recommendations as to future solutions.
