The AZEK Company Inc. (NYSE: AZEK) ("AZEK" or the “Company”), an
industry-leading manufacturer of beautiful, low-maintenance, and
sustainable residential and commercial building products, was
recently recognized by Green Builder Media with a 2021 Green
Innovation of the Year award. AZEK was acknowledged for its
FULL-CIRCLE PVC Recycling Program (“FULL-CIRCLE”), a professional
on-the-ground solution that works directly with dealers,
contractors and mill shops to collect, return and recycle scrap PVC
from fabrication shops, construction sites and remodeling
projects.
FULL-CIRCLE was selected by Green Builder, North America’s
leading green residential building media company, for its
innovative solution to PVC recycling, where there has historically
been a lack of responsible disposal or recycle options for scraps
and cuttoffs. Green Builder Media’s annual Sustainability Awards
recognize the industry’s most authentic, advanced, beautiful,
sustainable projects and the professionals who design and construct
them.
“FULL-CIRCLE is an example of how one initiative can reset
industry standards, while doing good for the environment and the
wider circular economy,” said AZEK CEO Jesse Singh. “We are
delighted to be recognized for our commitment to ‘Always Doing the
Right Thing,’ and look forward to continuing to disrupt the norm,
accelerate our use of recycled material and further divert waste
from landfills.”
AZEK’s FULL-CIRCLE PVC Recycling Program, made possible by the
Company’s vertically integrated recycling center Return Polymers,
combines innovative product technology with a strong network of
distributors, dealers, and direct customer mill shops. The scrap
PVC is collected and consolidated by distributors and dealers and
brought back to Return Polymers to sort and process. Return
Polymers then supplies clean recycled material to AZEK’s
manufacturing plants for reuse across the Company’s multiple
product lines—bringing the material full-circle. The local,
on-the-ground program not only diverts waste from landfills, but
also reduces contractors’ overhead waste disposal costs.
“It’s an honor to be recognized for our dedication to
sustainable innovation,” said Return Polymers President David
Foell. “As part of the AZEK family, we at Return Polymers are proud
to play a pivotal part in FULL-CIRCLE and the Company’s overall
ongoing commitment to build a more sustainable future.”
Products across AZEK’s portfolio are made from up to 100%
recycled material, and a majority of TimberTech, AZEK Exteriors,
and Versatex products are also recyclable at the end of their
useful lives. Launched in a beta version in Spring 2020 with a
handful of partners, AZEK’s FULL-CIRCLE PVC Recycling Program
continues to build momentum and local participation. AZEK was also
recently awarded the 2020 Vinyl Recycling Award by the Vinyl
Sustainability Council for the Company’s increased use of recycled
materials, innovative sourcing, and manufacturing procedures.
