Same great story with a better start.
ACROVYN® WITH RECYCLED CONTENT
Pursuing better.
Taking responsibility for our impact.
We think in generations, not days. For us, a sustainable business practice is an action that, when repeated, improves more than it harms people and the environment.
This is why we have adopted, Common Materials Framework as a tool to assess our impact.
Minimizing the use of harmful substances. Human Health
Reducing carbon emissions. Climate Health

ACROVYN® WITH RECYCLED CONTENT
Acrovyn ® is the first of it’s kind.
CS was the first manufacturer to launch a complete PVC-free wall protection line–Acrovyn®. This legendary material is now relaunched as the first wall protection product with recycled content from post-consumer PET bottles or food-grade single-use plastics.
Health + performance.
To reduce the embodied carbon of Acrovyn, we switched our resin to utilize post-consumer recycled content. This innovation allowed us to maintain the performance characteristics while enhancing material health, leading to better outcomes for all.
• Available on all sheet finishes • Enhanced microtextures
• Exceptional durability • UL Class A/1 fire rated • Easy to clean

ACROVYN® WITH RECYCLED CONTENT
Shredded single-use PET plastic is reduced to its basic form and re-polymerized with a Glycol monomer to create new PETG resin. PETG resin pellets are mixed with colorants and laminated to create numerous Acrovyn sheet colorways. Material health in a circular economy.

ACROVYN® WITH RECYCLED CONTENT
Climate Health in a Circular Economy. By incorporating post-consumer recycled content into Acrovyn, we've reduced the embodied carbon of the product by 53% compared to Acrovyn made with100% virgin resin, without sacrificing performance. This is circularity as a climate strategy.
Verified EPDs
Third-party verified EPDs provide transparent, measurable, and market-relevant data on Acrovyn’s environmental impacts, providing a foundation to measure progress as we continue to optimize our products.
Lower embodied carbon, built in.
Incorporating post-consumer recycled content isn’t just about reducing waste—it’s making a measurable difference. Our EPD Optimization Assessment verified a 53% reduction in embodied carbon compared to Acrovyn made with 100% virgin material. And with every Acrovyn sheet reusing 130 plastic bottles, that impact adds up.
Recyclability
Acrovyn is 100% recyclable, meaning it can be reused at its end of life. This helps reduce the carbon emissions associated with raw material extraction in other product supply chains.
Circularity isn’t just a materials story -
It’s a climate story. Every decision, from resin formulation to take-back programs, play a role in reducing our products environmental footprint.
