Main topics for discussion will focus on future plans for fully embracing the EU’s Circular Economy and European Green Deal ambitions and how the strategy will be achieved through a united PVC industry working together towards shared sustainability goals.
Brigitte Dero, Managing Director, VinylPlus, says: “Looking back at our steady progress over the past 20 years, the European PVC value chain continues to be an exemplary and pioneering industry in driving the move towards the Circular Economy and a more sustainable society. Thanks to clearly defined objectives, targets and deadlines, and the efforts and passionate commitment of the entire PVC industry, we will celebrate the achievements of the last decade at #VSF2021.”
The annual VinylPlus® Product Label Awards Ceremony will reward and recognise companies that deliver the highest sustainability performance. Concluding the event will be a Signatory Ceremony and official launch of the VinylPlus 2030 Commitment.
Brigitte Dero, adds: “As a united industry leader in sustainability, we look forward to closing the current VinylPlus commitment and embarking on a stimulating and ambitious new commitment together.”
