The PVC WG members involved in the project were presenting videos, samples and products made of recycled PVC. The Pollutec 2013 was a successful event which aimed at raising awareness about PVC recycling and plastics recyclers in France.
PRE & VinylPlus undertake actions in order to raise the awareness about the PVC plastics recycling and to challenge a more efficient control and usage of PVC during the whole life cycle of the material. Their aim is as well to influence an increase in collection rates and therefore recycling.
