Digital printing machines in Bandung on working days continue to produce in 24 hours nonstop. This kind of daily production routine gives impacts in a form of a lot of remaining pieces and materials which are not feasible to use. This happens at one of the production places in Bandung. The new material waste reaches up to 50 quintals every week. In regards of billboard material waste (baligho, banners, t-banners, umbul-umbul and patch), Bandung City Cemetery and Gardening Service data showes second-hand advertisement material reaches an average of 2500 pieces every month. <br /> <br /> Based on the phenomenon above, it is important to review the vitalization of billboard material waste in Bandung as the main ingredient that will be utilized to the product use. The purpose of designing with up-cycling to convert used goods into useful items or have a better environment. In addition, it is used to reduce energy use, air pollution, water pollution and even greenhouse gas emissions in the production process. <br /> <br /> The first experiment of 3 types of billboard waste material made from polyester was taken as a sample distinguished by differences in woven structure and material properties. The three samples, in the study of the properties of these materials, are used as a baseline to provide an assessment of the properties of textile materials that have physical properties resembling outdoor textile materials. <br /> <br /> The second experiment showes a prototype of a product by utilizing visual variables of billboard waste, with the synectics trigger approach as a tool for transformational thinking. From a sequence of six steps of synopsics trigger points, in the process of its use, it produces a stage that can be used as a method of mechanism design synectics. <br /> <br /> Thus, this design produces a product for through the visual processing of billboard waste that has the character of synectic visual attention. <br />
