Vycom (Scranton, PA) recently announced another successful recycling program targeted specifically for exhibitors using rigid PVC and acrylic at the ISA International Sign Expo 2023, held in Las Vegas, April 12-14. Vycom collected 1,350 lbs. of rigid PVC and acrylic scrap from the show floor, according to a press release from the company.

Designated collection bins were stationed in partner OEM booths including Canon, CET Color, Cutworx, Fluid Color, Kongsberg and Mimaki, doubling the number of recycling participants from the 2022 show. Working with ISA, Mandalay Bay, and Freeman as the official event services provider for the show, printed and cut sheets, scraps, and trim were collected and held in the ISA Green Zone before being returned to the company for recycling and processing.

This is the third sign and graphics focused show where Vycom has collected rigid PVC and acrylic for recycling as many exhibitors use these materials for product demonstrations. At this time, Vycom has collected more than 6,500 lbs. of material from three shows over a one-year period. The scrap material collected will be reprocessed into the company’s internal products, ensuring they do not end up in landfills.
