Macau Banner Bag was created in Macau in 2005 by Miguel Quental and Sofia Bobone, two young and dynamic entrepreneurs of Macau, who take the environment seriously and wanted to do something about it. The company was established with the innovative idea of using discarded advertising material from banners used in the promotion of exhibitions, festivals, cultural and sports events. The founders understood that promotional needs of companies and cultural institutions in Macau generated large quantities of materials such as PVC banners, polyester flags and posters which could not and were not, subsequently, recycled.
