WASHINGTON, June 26,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Vinyl Sustainability
Council (VSC), a self-funded business council advancing
sustainability in the vinyl industry, has opened its submission
portal for its three annual awards - Vinyl Recycling Award, Social
Impact Award, and Design for Reuse Award. The winners will be
announced at the VSC Sustainability Summit, taking place in
Louisville, Kentucky on
December 9, 2024.
"Our wide array of members are doing great work to advance the
sustainability of our industry" said Jay
Thomas, VSC's Executive Director. "These awards help shine a
light on important programs and initiatives, and we welcome all
members to apply and be recognized for their hard work."
Vinyl Recycling Award
The "2024 Vinyl Recycling Award" recognizes the efforts of vinyl
supply chain members with operations in North America that find new solutions and/or
markets for PVC end-of-life or scrap materials, increase use of
recycled vinyl content, and/or engage in partnerships with
companies in take-back programs.
In 2023, the VSC recognized i2M for their ReNew Champions Pool
Liner Takeback Program. This takeback program offers a unique
solution for preventing PVC pool liners from ending up in landfills
at the end of their useful life. By working with ReNew Champions,
which include pool liner fabricators, pool product distributors and
installers, i2M have made recycling pool liners an easy option.
Social Impact Award
The "2024 Social Impact Award" recognizes the efforts of a VSC
member that has demonstrated a strong commitment to their
communities. This annual award acknowledges outstanding programs
(or products within a program) that address a social concern
utilizing a company's resources to have a positive impact.
VSC recognized OxyChem in 2023 for their efforts to help
community school districts reduce energy consumption through
Department of Energy Better Plants Industrial Assessment Centers
(IAC) program.
Design for Reuse Award
The "2024 Design for Reuse Award" recognizes the efforts of a VSC
member that has a vinyl product purposely designed for disassembly,
recycling, or reuse at the product's end of life. Priority is given
to those products where these design criteria were a fundamental
aspect of the design process.
