Vycom (Scranton, PA) announced that the company will be continuing its sustainability efforts by bringing back the Vycom Recycling Program to the International Sign Expo 2023 in Las Vegas, April 12-14, according to a media advisory from the company. While at the show, Vycom will be collecting printed and unprinted rigid PVC and acrylic sheets from select exhibitors for recycling into the company’s internal products.
Working with ISA, Mandalay Bay and Freeman as the official event services provider for the show, printed and cut sheets will be collected from specially-marked bins and returned to the company for recycling and processing. The materials will be reprocessed into the company’s internal products, ensuring they do not end up in landfills. Designated collection bins will be stationed in the ISA Green Recycling Zone, as well as in booths of partner OEMs such as Mimaki and Cutworx, to collect rigid PVC and acrylic scraps and trim as part of their demonstrations.
“The program is provided at no charge to participating International Sign Expo 2023 exhibitors and is a win-win-win for all — the print service provider/fabricator, the customer, and the environment — with the opportunity to keep tens of millions of pounds of signage and graphics waste out of landfills each year, revolutionizing the industry to create a more sustainable future,” also according to the company’s media advisory.
Visitors are encouraged to learn more by stopping by the Vycom booth (2251).
In 2022, Vycom collected nearly 3,000 lbs. of material from the International Sign Expo held in Atlanta, and more than 2,200 lbs. of scrap from PRINTING United held in Las Vegas, per the advisory.
