Wednesday 05 December saw representatives from across the value chain, from raw material suppliers to the manufacturers of PVC products, meeting in Brussels, for an industry ‘Stakeholder Conversation’ about Vinyl 2010.
News of the excellent progress that is being made in meeting the targets within Vinyl 2010 was welcomed and the announcement of the 'Vinyl Foundation', a new contribution mechanism for the converting industry, being introduced to keep pace with the funding Vinyl 2010's rapidly growing PVC recycling commitments, was accepted as being a more equitable funding solution for the future.

Related to the new Vinyl Foundation, a new Vinyl 2010 ‘Partner for Sustainability’ logo has been created for converters – producers of PVC products, e.g. pipes, window profiles etc – who contribute as part of the scheme.  This logo shows that the company is supporting the future of Vinyl 2010 and sustainable development.
