Our Mission
To make it as easy as possible to recycle vinyl material. Together, we can build connections between stakeholders at each step of the waste disposal process, helping to divert and reclaim as much vinyl material as possible away from landfills.
Our Vision
To make rigid vinyl recycling accessible throughout North America, thereby expanding our sustainable solution to continue to lower the carbon footprint on new and existing homes.
By fulfilling our mission and vision, together, we can develop new business in a more circular economy.
Join the movement today and help us close the loop on the lifecycle of rigid vinyl products.
There’s a place for everyone!
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!
Our vision: make it as easy as possible to recycle vinyl material. Together, we can build connections between stakeholders at each step of the waste disposal process, helping to divert and reclaim as much vinyl material as possible away from landfills.
