Voluntary commitment Vinyl 2010 completed and succesful
June 15 2011
Vinyl 2010 is the ten-year voluntary programme on Sustainable Development by the whole PVC industry. We have a concrete focus as set out in the European PVC Industry’s Voluntary Commitment - a series of targets, projects, initiatives and research studies primarily concerning environmental protection and resource management
The 10 years voluntary commitment came to an end in 2010 succeeding in meeting or exceeding the targets set by the industry in 2000.
Its tasks include:
- Being the platform for the achievements of the windows sector regarding the Voluntary Committment (VC)
- Ensuring the sector is adequately informed about its obligation under the VC and to stimulate a response
- Harmonising industry policy on VC issues
- Liaising with other BPF implementation groups
- Collating relevant data and chain deficit costs
- Reviewing stabiliser issues
The voluntary commitment has made possible the creation of means for the recycling of PVC-U windows in Europe and within the UK using the RecoVinyl scheme under the supervision on a European level by Vinyl 2010, the legal entity behind the Voluntary Commitment.
