The Vinyl Sustainability Council opened its submission portal for its three annual awards—the Vinyl Recycling Award, Social Impact Award and Design for Reuse Award. The winners will be announced at the VSC Sustainability Summit on Dec. 9, 2024, in Louisville, Kentucky.
About the awards
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.
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.
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.
