The Vinyl Institute updates PVC and Vinyl Recycling Directory

The new version includes more than 100 recyclers across North America that accept PVC or vinyl materials.

The Vinyl Institute (VI), based in Washington, has released a new version of its PVC/Vinyl Recycling Directory that includes more than 100 recyclers across North America that accept polyvinyl chloride/vinyl materials. This updated version of the directory includes the name, location, contact information and the types of PVC materials recyclers will accept.

“PVC materials can and are being recycled in North America. Our goal is to connect recyclers with general contractors, organizations and individuals that have PVC materials they want to recycle,” says Ned Monroe, president and CEO of the Vinyl Institute.

Visitors to the recycling directory homepage will be asked to select from the list of vinyl/PVC material(s) that can be recycled and to identify the state(s) where the items are located. The directory will identify any recyclers in the states specified that accept the items selected. In some cases, there may be more than one recycling organization, or there may not be one in the state(s) selected, the Vinyl Institute says. The PVC/Vinyl Recycling directory includes recyclers that take rigid and/or flexible PVC materials
