The principles of the Circular Economy apply to durable plastic products like PVC pipes, which are designed for long life, require minimal maintenance and can be easily repaired. PIPA Executive General Manager Cindy Bray makes the case in the latest issue of Waste Management Review. #Reduce #Reuse #Repair #Recycle #Circulareconomy https://lnkd.in/gxmqEWyH

About us
The Vinyl Council of Australia is the leading members-based organisation working to strengthen and advance the sustainability of the Australian PVC industry. Partnering with similar organisations globally, we share knowledge and engage stakeholders across industry and government on the life cycle of PVC. Our aim is to show how vinyl products have a valuable role to play in a sustainable society through responsible manufacture, use and disposal of PVC. Since 1998, our membership has grown to include manufacturers of vinyl resin, vinyl compounds, vinyl and recycled vinyl products and suppliers of additives and services to PVC product manufacturers. Currently two programs are managed by the Vinyl Council of Australia, representing leadership in different aspects of sustainability. These are: • PVC Product Stewardship Program (PSP) Established in 2002, the PSP is an ongoing, long-term voluntary undertaking by Australian PVC industry to recognise, and progressively address, all relevant environmental, health and safety issues along the PVC product life cycle within responsible deliverable timeframes. This approach enables the PVC value chain to be joint stewards of the safe and beneficial production, use and disposal of PVC products in Australia. • Best Environmental Practice PVC (BEP) Our BEP PVC trademark is awarded to PVC products that meet stringent environmental criteria, developed by the Green Building Council of Australia. This accreditation mark for specific products can help specifiers to choose sustainable products. Our successful PVC Recycling in Hospitals Program now operates in more than 200 hospitals throughout Australia and New Zealand. Recycling high quality medical grade PVC devices, this program gives a valuable raw material resource a ‘second life’ in new products. As an association focused on sustainable development of the Australian PVC industry, we are proud of our achievements in greater industry engagement in the circular economy.

PVC Blisters Fight Back💊 When it comes to pharmaceutical packaging, #PVC remains indispensable. Recent claims about mono-materials like PP aim to shift the market, but PVC’s unparalleled properties in barrier protection and cost-effectiveness keep it the top choice. In response to Packaging Digest’s coverage, Tobias Johnsen from PVCMed Alliance highlights PVC blister packs’ #innovation and ongoing advancements in #recycling through initiatives like VinylPlus® PharmPack. Meanwhile, in Australia, introducing PP blisters risks contaminating valuable PVC recycling streams already in place.

PVC has been used safely for more than 50 years in just about every hospital, emergency room, ambulance, doctor’s office, clinic, urgent care, and outpatient facility worldwide. Its unparalleled performance has helped save countless lives across the globe. For five decades, PVC has revolutionized how hospitals and medical facilities administer patient care. It helps preserve blood for longer, replaces breakable glass containers, allows medicines to be sealed tighter and last longer, and is used widely in flooring, wall coverings, and furniture to prevent the spread of disease.
