More than 1.1 billion pounds of vinyl materials are recycled annually in the U.S. and Canada. This total includes 142 million pounds of post-consumer (non-packaging) vinyl materials.
In 2020, the U.S. vinyl industry set an ambitious goal to recycle 160 million pounds of post-consumer PVC by 2025. New VIABILITY recycling grants help to achieve this goal by providing financial assistance to companies and organizations – up to $500,000 – in support of their post-consumer PVC recycling initiatives.
So far, we’ve awarded nearly 20 organizations with funding to grow post-consumer vinyl recycling. Some of these programs have already started to show great success, and we want to highlight how this amazing grant program is making a real difference in vinyl recycling.
