At Acrylic Design Associates, a Taylor company, sustainability is at the core of everything they do. That’s why they’re proud to sponsor the inaugural Shop! Path Zero Sustainability Awards, a groundbreaking initiative recognizing innovation and leadership in sustainable retail environments, custom displays and visual merchandising.
As part of the Shop! Association’s annual awards program, these new sustainability awards celebrate companies that are making significant strides toward eco-friendly practices in retail design, visual merchandising and in-store experiences. The awards will be presented at Shop! MarketPlace, happening April 8-10 in Charlotte, N.C. — a must-attend event for industry professionals looking to shape the future of retail.
Championing Sustainability in Retail
The Path Zero Sustainability Awards are a major step forward in acknowledging brands, designers and manufacturers who are leading the charge in reducing environmental impact while maintaining exceptional retail experiences. The awards are open across all three Shop! Awards competitions: OMA, Design and Global Awards.
“Sustainability isn’t just a trend — it’s the future of retail,” said Acrylic Design President, Bill McNeely, Jr. “We are excited to help recognize and celebrate the companies that are making meaningful progress toward a greener industry.”
Pioneers in Retail Carbon Reduction
Acrylic Design is making the new awards from its own line of Recrylic® certified recycled acrylic. Introduced in 2022, Recrylic is the world’s only line of certified recycled acrylic sheets. Recrylic looks, performs and costs the same as virgin cast acrylic, but reduces carbon emissions by 90%. Interested companies can request a free product sample as well as a carbon savings estimate, showing how much carbon can be saved from a particular project or program through the use of Recrylic.
