PVC recycling doubled for second year

18/05/2007

According to its Progress Report 2007, Vinyl 2010, the organisation coordinating the European PVC industry’s commitment to sustainable development, recycled 83,000 tonnes of PVC through its projects in 2006 (16,800 tonnes in the UK), more than doubling its recycling figures for the second year running.

Over half of this is attributable to Recovinyl, a scheme that provides financial support for recycling PVC waste collected by waste management companies, and the construction and demolition sector.

Vinyl 2010 is committed to recycling 200,000 tonnes/year of post-consumer PVC waste by the end of 2010.
