Brussels, 27 May 2010 – Following the enormous success of the 2009 Essay Competition, Vinyl 2010 has launched the Sustainable Thinking Platform, a new online forum to discuss and learn about sustainability issues. The platform will host a multimedia competition seeking the best essays, pictures and videos to contribute to the debate we initiated last year.
Impressive Vinyl 2010 achievements keep the European PVC industry on course to keep its promises
Vinyl 2010’s ninth Progress Report was presented during its annual General Assembly held in London. In the final year of the Voluntary Commitment, made by the PVC industry back in 2000, the report highlights the progress made in 2009 towards achieving its targets.
Despite the difficult global economic situation which has heavily affected this sector, 190,324 tonnes of post-consumer PVC were recycled in 2009, keeping the industry on track to fulfil its commitment to recycle 200,000 tonnes of post-consumer PVC a year by 2010. A total of 688,674 tonnes have been recycled since the beginning of the programme.
