Actively seeking new business that can accommodate recycled plastics is not just good for the environment, it’s also an excellent business decision.  Post industrial recycled PVC is available in huge quantities and at significantly reduced costs to virgin compound.  While recycled materials will never match the same performance standards as virgin compound, the cost savings for customers can add up when looking towards wood and metal replacement applications.  These reduced costs act as a gateway to applications where polymers were previously considered too expensive. In order to make sure that these environmentally friendly material sources are available to it’s customers, Engineered Profiles has spent a tremendous amount of time and energy towards developing it’s sources for this recycled PVC.  Our suppliers bring the same attention to quality, that marks Engineered Profiles an industry leader, to their operation.  This ensures a clean and steady supply stream.  In the last five years Engineered Profiles has become a net consumer of post industrial recycled materials.  In that time frame EP has consumed not only it’s internal materials, but kept over 25 million additional pounds of plastic out of land fills.  Producing parts from recycled materials is good for business and good for the planet. ## Keep Reading [More News](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/insights) ### [![Why OEMs Are Rethinking Material Partnerships in 2026](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/hs-fs/hubfs/OEM%20Manufacturing%20Partnerships.jpeg?width=900&height=500&name=OEM%20Manufacturing%20Partnerships.jpeg) January 2026 – 2 min read Why OEMs Are Rethinking Material Partnerships in 2026 Read Article](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/insights/why-oems-are-rethinking-material-partnerships-in-2026) ### [![Why Data Center Projects Are Rethinking Duct Bank and Trench Design in 2026](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Duct%20Bank%20and%20Trenches%20%20for%20data%20centers.jpeg?width=900&height=500&name=Duct%20Bank%20and%20Trenches%20%20for%20data%20centers.jpeg) May 2026 Why Data Center Projects Are Rethinking Duct Bank and Trench Design in 2026 Read Article](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/insights/why-data-center-projects-are-rethinking-duct-bank-and-trench-design-in-2026) ### [![Tariffs, Delays, and Disruption: Why Manufacturers Are Rethinking Supply Chains in 2026](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Tarriffs%20and%20supply%20disruption.jpeg?width=900&height=500&name=Tarriffs%20and%20supply%20disruption.jpeg) March 2026 – 2 min read Tariffs, Delays, and Disruption: Why Manufacturers Are Rethinking Supply Chains in 2026 Read Article](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/insights/tariffs-delays-and-disruption-why-manufacturers-are-rethinking-supply-chains-in-2026) ![Engineering Profiles](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/EP_2025_Theme/images/logo-white.svg) [614-754-3700](tel:614-754-3700) 2141 Fairwood Ave. Columbus, OH 43207 [**LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/company/engineered-profiles-llc-dba-crane-plastics-llc/) [**Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/EngineeredProfilesLLC/) Manufacturing - [ Plastic Extrusion ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/plastic-extrusion) - [ Multi-Core Extrusion ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/multi-core-extrusion) - [ Custom Manufactured Plastics ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/custom-manufactured-plastics) - [ In-House Tooling ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/in-house-tooling) - [ Custom Finishing Operations ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/custom-finishing-operations) - [ Just-in-Time Manufacturing ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/just-in-time-manufacturing) Design - [ Design Engineering ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/design-engineering) - [ Rapid Prototyping ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/rapid-prototyping) Supply Chain - [ Supply Chain Models ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/supply-chain-models) - [ Supplier Partnerships ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/supplier-partnerships) Industries - [ Agriculture ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/agriculture) - [ Building Products ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/building-products) - [ Energy ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/energy) - [ Freight & Shipping ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/freight-shipping) - [ HVAC & Filtration ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/hvac-filtration) - [ Outdoor Living ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/outdoor-living) - [ Refrigeration ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/refrigeration) - [ Retail & Commercial Fixtures ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/retail-commercial) - [ Technology & Communications ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/technology-communications) Company - [ About Us ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/about-us) - [ News ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/insights) - [ Events & Tradeshows ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/events-tradeshows) - [ Case Studies ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/case-studies) - [ Materials Guide ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/materials-guide) - [ Careers ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/career-opportunities) - [ Contact Us ](https://www.engineeredprofiles.com/contact-us) © 2026 Engineered Profiles.
