Our Mission & Vision

Rigid vinyl is designed to be recycled, but only with your help. The Revinylize™ Recycling Collaborative is a recycling initiative that includes dedicated installers, recyclers, collection sites (i.e., distributors and landfills) and many other advocates, in partnership with the Polymeric Exterior Products Association (PEPA) and verified by GreenCircle Certified.

Our Story

The Revinylize Recycling Collaborative is made up of industry stakeholders who are passionate about building a more sustainable world for future generations through post-consumer rigid vinyl recycling. They include the Polymeric Exterior Products Association (PEPA), GreenCircle Certified, top recycling firms like Return Polymers and JPI, regional recycling nonprofits and other leading trade associations like Uni-Bell PVC Pipe Association, Plastics Pipe and Fitting Association (PPFA), and the Vinyl Institute (VI). This Collaborative was made possible thanks to generous support from the PEPA and the VI’s VIABILITY™ Recycling Grant Program.

Our "Why"

Revinylize was the brainchild of PEPA’s vision for developing a national recycling infrastructure for polymeric home exteriors that had reached the end of their life cycle. The program started with a pilot project in Northeast Ohio that recycled 500,000+ pounds of aftermarket residential vinyl siding from 2021-2023. The success of this pilot program inspired the launch of Revinylize.

A More Sustainable Future

Research from Sustainable Solutions Corporation shows that incorporating 10% recycled content reduces the life cycle carbon emissions of vinyl siding by 5%. Using vinyl siding with recycled content for an average house reduces its carbon footprint by 47.5 kilograms of CO2 equivalent. That equals driving 118 miles, burining 53 pounds of coal or charging 5,777 smartphones. With these metrics in mind, imagine the enormous traction that Revinylize could accomplish... with your help!

Recycling With Your Help

As a collaborative member, you can take concrete steps to help meet our goal to increase the amount of post-consumer rigid vinyl material recycled in the U.S. by 5 million pounds in 2025.
Why do we need your help to close the loop on the lifecycle of vinyl products?

  • Today’s scrap, tomorrow’s products. Recycled vinyl material can go right back into the manufacturing process to be ground down and reused to create new building products.

  • Recycling made simple. Select recycling locations offer collection container delivery and pick-up service for your job site. 

  • Lower footprint, big impact. By helping us increase the amount of recycled vinyl material, you can help an average house using vinyl siding with recycled content reduce its carbon footprint by 47.5 kilograms of CO2 equivalent.
