More than 1.1 billion pounds of vinyl materials are recycled annually in the U.S. and Canada. VIABILITY recycling grants help to grow post-consumer recycling by providing financial assistance to companies and organizations – up to $250,000 – in support of their post-consumer PVC recycling initiatives.
Launched in 2023, the VIABILITY program was seeded with $3 million in funding from the four leading PVC resin manufacturers—Formosa, Oxy, Shintech, and Westlake—distributed over three years at $1 million annually. All four have renewed their support of the program in 2026, and we are looking for like-minded organizations who want to join them by charitably supporting our effort to increase annual recycling capacity.
