LinksDossier: Umweltproblematik von PVC [DE]
The environmental agreement
signed with the Commission was
announced on 14 February. Signatories include BASF (Germany),
Cargill Dow (USA), Novamont (Italy) and Rodenburg Biopolymers
(Netherlands), which according to the Commission represent about
90% of the European and global markets for biodegradable
plastics.
The agreement, which also includes a commitment on compostable polymers, is presented as opening new avenues in waste management and recycling.
It comes as part of an industry 10-year programme to reduce the
environmental impact of PVC (Polyvinyl chloride), triggered by
fears of a potential ban envisaged by the Commission in a
2000 green paper
.
