WASHINGTON, DC, March 1, 2021 – The Vinyl Sustainability Council (VSC), a self-funded business council advancing sustainability in the vinyl industry, is pleased to recognize three companies with its Going Beyond Award for their increased participation in the industry-wide sustainability initiative +Vantage Vinyl™.
The Going Beyond Award recognizes VSC members who are exceeding the requirements of +Vantage Vinyl participation and are doing more to advance their company’s and the industry’s sustainability efforts.
