The European PVC industry released the final Progress Report on Vinyl 2010 – the ten year voluntary commitment launched in 2000 to enhance the sustainable production and use of PVC. The report highlights the huge advances made by the industry over the past decade in waste management, innovative recycling technologies, stakeholder engagement and responsible use of additives.
Vinyl 2010 has succeeded in meeting or exceeding all of the targets set by the industry in 2000.
As it comes to an end, a new industry commitment towards sustainability will be launched later in 2011 which will require the ongoing active support of the PVC[PVC?:PVC sample cutting machine] value chain and a wide range of other stakeholders in the public and private sector
