Washington, DC, July 09, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Vinyl Institute (VI) has awarded a $30,000 recycling grant to the Polymeric Exterior Products Association (PEPA)<\/strong> to support efforts to expand and strengthen vinyl (PVC) recycling initiatives through the Revinylize Recycling Collaborative, a recycling program focused on the recycling of rigid vinyl materials. The VI has supported the Revinylize program since its inception in 2024. The grant showcases the VI’s ongoing support, along with more than $3 million in grants awarded to various other organizations since 2023. The funding will support PEPA\u2019s work to advance recycling solutions for rigid vinyl materials through dedicated program coordination and industry engagement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis grant reflects our continued commitment to advancing scalable, industry-driven recycling solutions for vinyl,\u201d said Jay Thomas. \u201cBy partnering with organizations like PEPA, we can help accelerate practical efforts that improve material recovery and support long-term sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n

Advancing Recycling for Exterior Vinyl Products<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rigid vinyl exterior products, such as siding, trim, pipe, windows and other building materials, play an important role in residential and commercial construction. As demand for these materials continues, improving pathways for collection and recycling is critical to increasing overall material recovery.<\/p>\n

Through this initiative, PEPA will focus on coordinating recycling efforts, engaging stakeholders across the value chain, and identifying opportunities to expand recycling infrastructure and participation.<\/p>\n

\u201cPEPA is committed to supporting sustainable solutions for polymeric exterior building products,\u201d said Kate Offringa, President & CEO of PEPA. \u201cThis funding from the Vinyl Institute enables us to dedicate resources to advancing recycling initiatives and strengthening collaboration across the industry.\u201d<\/p>\n
