VictoryStore Sustainability
Reducing production waste, one pound at a time.
Manufacturing creates waste. We work with Cope Plastics to recycle usable plastic, track it by weight, and report the results so our progress is clear and measurable.
Recycling impact since 2024

Recycling & processing facility
The Impact
A steady stream of plastic, kept out of the landfill.
Since 2024, Cope Plastics has processed our production offcuts through its recycling program, keeping that material in a documented recycling stream instead of general waste.
Less landfill waste
Cope's program is designed to keep post-industrial plastic out of landfills.
More material reused
Reprocessed plastics can be used in place of virgin resin or pellets.
Measured impact
Cope tracks recycled tonnage and reports the results back to us.
Where The Material Goes
Turning production scrap into usable material.
Cope's recycling program processes post-industrial plastic and tracks the amount recycled.
Separate & collect
Recyclable production offcuts are separated from general waste.
Process & recover
Cope may grind, pelletize, wash, sort, compound, and package the material for reuse.
Return to use
Recovered plastic can be used instead of virgin resin or pellets to make new products.

Recycling totals displayed here are based on the Cope Plastics Recycling Impact Report dated August 24, 2026. The report does not provide a reliable material-by-material breakdown, so this page intentionally reports verified totals only.
Why Recycling This Material Matters
Why recycling this material matters.
Cope identifies several benefits of plastic recycling: conserving resources, saving energy, reducing landfill waste, and reducing demand for new raw material. Our role is simple—recover more of the plastic left over from production.
Source: Cope Plastics recycling FAQs. These are benefits Cope attributes to plastics recycling generally; VictoryStore's verified company-specific metric is the weight recycled.
Conserve resources
Recovered plastic can reduce demand for virgin raw material.
Save energy
Cope identifies energy savings as a benefit of plastic recycling.
Reduce landfill waste
Keep more post-industrial plastic out of landfills.
Why It Matters
Why we recycle production plastic.

Frequently Asked Questions
What material does VictoryStore recycle?
VictoryStore recycles the corrugated plastic offcuts left over from manufacturing signs and banners. Cope Plastics reports the total by weight; a material-by-material breakdown isn't currently available.
How are the recycling totals measured?
Cope Plastics weighs and reports the material they process on our behalf. Every total shown on this page comes directly from their recycling impact reports.
Does recycling apply to every VictoryStore product?
No. This program covers the plastic offcuts generated during manufacturing — it isn't a customer take-back or returns program today.
How often will this page be updated?
We update it every time Cope Plastics issues a new recycling report.
Does VictoryStore claim to be zero-waste?
No. We report the recycling activity we can document and measure through Cope Plastics; we don't make broader zero-waste claims.
