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 industry’s 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. Roger’s 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. |
