Cyclyx International announces the Vinyl Institute (VI) has joined the Cyclyx Consortium.

Founded in 1982, the Vinyl Institute is a trade organization that represents the leading manufacturers in the vinyl industry. In the United States alone, this industry accounts for almost 3,000 manufacturing facilities, upwards of 350,000 employees, and a US$ 54 billion economic valuation.

“The Vinyl Institute is proud to partner with Cyclyx to work towards our common goal of increasing post-consumer PVC recycling,” said Ned Monroe, president and CEO of the Vinyl Institute. “Tapping into the Cyclyx Consortium’s 10to90 network will allow more post-consumer PVC to be recycled. We look forward to collaborating on new ways to innovate recycling.”

“We are excited about the Vinyl Institute joining our Cyclyx Consortium,” said Ron Sherga, Vice President, Membership Engagement at Cyclyx.

“Having vinyl represented in our Consortium allows for increased, open communication for co-developing strategies and programs towards a mutual goal—increasing the recyclability of plastic waste. Along with the inclusion of our 10 to90 mission brand, we look forward to working together to collect more vinyl materials from a wide range of industries, divert these materials from landfill, and ultimately increase recycling across the vinyl collective. The commitment and dedication towards circularity are already in place with the Vinyl Institute, and together with Cyclyx, the collaboration will amplify the sustainable efforts.”
