Roger
Morton, a Director of Axion Recycling has been involved
with development of PVC recycling in the UK for the past 7 years.
Axion Consulting is the UK agent for Recovinyl, which is the European
PVC industrys initiative to increase recycling of post-consumer
PVC. The UK has led the development of the Recovinyl system with volumes
growing faster than any other European country.
Rogers
presentation will:
(i) describe
the development of the Recovinyl system in the UK
(ii) explain how the system works
(iii) describe an interesting new initiative which Recovinyl is working
on with WRAP and the major PVC flooring manufacturers to increase
closed loop recycling of PVC flooring
WRAP (Waste
& Resources Action Programme)
helps individuals, businesses and local authorities to reduce waste
and recycle more, making better use of resources and helping to
tackle climate change. In June 2008 WRAP published a report on the
results of its research into the technical feasibility of recycling
domestic mixed plastics waste as well as environmental and economical
sustainability. The presentation will discuss the research report,
its conclusions and the impact it will have on plastics recycling.
