of Waste AZEK is Helping Keep Out of Landfills Annually
The AZEK Company (“AZEK”), an industry-leading manufacturer of
beautiful, low-maintenance and sustainable residential and
commercial building products, announced today the official launch
of the AZEK FULL-CIRCLE PVC Recycling Program (“FULL-CIRCLE”). The
new professional on-the-ground program works directly with dealers,
contractors and mill shops to collect, return and recycle scrap PVC
from fabrication shops, construction sites and remodeling projects.
The AZEK FULL-CIRCLE PVC Recycling Program makes AZEK one of the
largest PVC recyclers in the country and is another step in the
company’s ongoing commitment to building a more sustainable
future.

A professional-focused approach, the program diverts recycle
material that would otherwise be disposed of in landfills, while
reducing contractors’ overhead disposal costs. The first of its
kind program is made possible by AZEK’s vertically integrated
recycling center, Return Polymers, combined with the company’s
innovative product technology and strong network of distributors,
dealers and direct customer mill shops similarly aligned on
achieving sustainability goals. FULL-CIRCLE complements AZEK’s
already existing integrated polyethylene (PE) recycling initiative
used in the TimberTech PRO and TimberTech EDGE decking lines.
“We felt it was import to create a recycling program centered on
waste diversion and conveniently located on-site where professional
contractors work,” said AZEK CEO Jesse Singh. “Through FULL-CIRCLE
we will now have a great pipeline of materials to reuse and create
into fresh new products for consumers’ outdoor living spaces.”
Launched in a beta version this spring with a handful of
partners, AZEK is on track to collect over 2.5 million pounds of
PVC scrap annually from direct customers and construction sites.
Return Polymers then sorts and processes the PVC and supplies clean
recycled material back to the Company’s manufacturing plants for
reuse across multiple product lines. A value-add service,
FULL-CIRCLE currently has strong roots in the Northeast with plans
to grow program participants with additional sustainability-focused
distributors, dealers and mill shops.
FULL-CIRCLE expands on AZEK’s ongoing dedication to quality,
sustainability, and innovation, proving environmental and financial
benefits to both The AZEK Company and its distributor, dealer,
customer and contractor networks.
“Ultimately, this is a terrific example of how AZEK innovations
continue to advance a sustainable and circular economy in a way
that is a win-win for everyone,” continued Singh.
