The PVC industry welcomes the debate on sustainability as it focuses attention on continuous improvements to which we are already committed. Appropriate PVC waste management and recycling options are key to our industry and our work here includes research into, for example, the size of PVC waste streams and on potential technologies in feedstock recycling. The projects undertaken will provide important data and experience on which to base future decisions.
