Revinylize Recycling Collaborative surpasses H1 2025 goal

The Revinylize Recycling Collaborative, an initiative founded by the Alexandria, Virginia-based Polymeric Exterior Products Association (PEPA), has surpassed its large-scale 2025 goal of recycling 2,500 tons (5 million pounds) of postconsumer rigid vinyl. Revinylize achieved this goal in the first six months of the year, according to independent verification by GreenCircle Certified.

The semiannual verification report shows that from January through June 2025, more than 2,550 tons of vinyl siding and other rigid vinyl products were recycled by verified collection sites and recyclers across North America.

“We expected strong growth this year, but hitting our annual 5 million-pound target by June was a welcome bonus,” PEPA Vice President Matt Dobson says. “Based on prior projections, we anticipated 3-4 million pounds by midyear. This milestone demonstrates the enormous potential of Revinylize to transform our industry and accelerate a circular economy for postconsumer, rigid vinyl building products.”

Revinylize began as a pilot program in Ohio and officially launched in late 2023, with support from PEPA, the Vinyl Institute, the PVC Pipe Association, Fenestration and Glazing Industry Alliance and the Plastic Pipe and Fittings Association (PPFA). Since then, the collaborative has expanded across North America, building partnerships with recyclers including JP Industrial, Return Polymers, Viking Recycling, Lastique (Aurora) and others.

The recycling program creates a one-stop solution for builders, remodelers, distributors and consumers to connect with verified recyclers and collection sites, converting end-of-life vinyl into new products, diverting materials from landfills and cutting carbon emissions.

“This is more than simply hitting a number—it’s proof that circularity in construction materials is achievable today,” PEPA President and CEO Kate Offringa says. “We’re excited to build on this momentum, scale further and continue proving that sustainability and business growth go hand in hand.”
