RECOVINYL
Recovinyl is a European-based initiative aiming to
increase recycling of post-consumer used PVC materials. Recovinyl is
funded by the PVC industry through its vinyl 2010 initiative. Vinyl 2010
aims to make a substantial increase in PVC recycling over and above what
is required by EU legislation. In the UK this project is being lead by
Axion Recycling Ltd. Axion has recruited a network of recyclers able to
process PVC waste. The next task has been to recruit collectors who will
collect and deliver PVC waste to the network of recyclers in return for
incentive payments, making this an attractive alternative to land-fill.
The quantities of PVC that are recycled through the Recovinyl system are
independently audited.
