EDPA is proud to announce a new partnership with Vycom!
Vycom has designed a program to help the exhibitions industry recycle some of our waste. This no-cost program takes back and recycles printed or unprinted PVC, PE and Acrylic sheets, as well as scraps and drops from finishing and fabricating.
Plastic waste is a global crisis. As an overwhelming amount of PVC, Acrylic and PE are not properly recovered or recycled, performance plastics are valuable long after their initial usage. In a circular economy, performance plastics can be recycled again and again, eliminating waste and the continual use of resources. As an affiliate of the AZEK Company, Vycom is proud to not only offer high-quality products made from up to 100% post-consumer and post-industrial recycled materials, but to also play an active role in reducing plastic waste through recycling.
How the NO-COST program works:
1) Contact Vycom to Enroll
Contact Mike Sherrod or Ryan Manley today to enroll in the Vycom Recycling Program.

2 ) Bins & Totes Provided
Once enrolled, Vycom will provide you with bulk containers to store your scrap and would be recycled materials.
NOTE: Keep in mind, recycled materials must be separated by polymer; i.e. PVC and Acrylic can not be stored in the same bin.
3) Schedule a Pick-Up
When it’s time to schedule a pick-up: Contact Vycom at Recycling@AzekCo.com, who will coordinate with you and other EDPA member companies in need of a pick-up. A pick-up date and time will be agreed upon. We then replenish your bin stock so the process can continue without interruption.
4 ) Your Scrap & Waste is Recycled
After collection, your scrap and waste is recycled and repurposed into high quality raw materials used in the production of beautiful, long-lasting, sustainable products.
WHAT YOUR RECYCLED SCRAP MAKES:
• TimberTech Decking
• AZEK Exteriors Trim Boards
• Vycom PVC, HDPE and PP sheets
