Workshop:
“Life Med International Workshop 25/26/27 January 2017”.
Example model of the new circular economy :
Recycling of difficult-to-treat PVC wastes
which produces RPVC compound close to virgin PVC compound
a step towards sustainable development

VINYLOOP® Ferrara
First industrial plant/pilot in the world Seveso plant OHSAS18001 (Safety ISO) + ISO14001 (Environment ISO) DEHP authorization from ECHA feb 2019
Plant for waste treatment with or without fibres (cables, tarpaulins, flooring, membranes,…)
Today we treat cables and tarpaulins with PVC content >=75%
(~9000T/y of scraps)
Aligned with VinylPlus voluntary commitment

• Lower Environmental Footprint
– LCA critically reviewed by DEKRA (ISO 14040-44)
• Target customers who seek solutions for their post-industrial and/or post-consumer waste
– Example Fitt hose supplier (Italy)
• Take-back scheme which provides discount on those taking back their old garden hoses for new ones.
Market Differentiation with Customers

• London 2012 Games
– Reversed its initial policy and allowed extensive use of PVC for some of the most iconic infrastructures
• 142,538m2 of PVC fabric
• http://www.sergeferrari.com/video-rse/7_London_Stadium/
– Why was Vinyloop successful?
• It fulfilled 3 key sustainability criteria
• Recyclability
• Low environmental impact
• Take back at end-of-life
• RPVC Premium = Virgin compounds & close loop with waste supplier possible (upcycling circular economy)
• European Commission - Circular Economy Package
– Vinyloop is one of possible technologies which can recycle composite materials BUT today no other technology for ‘difficult-to-recycle’ PVC waste can reach same results in terms of quality of R-PVC obtained
• VINYLPLUS TARGET 2020 : 800 kT of PVC scraps recycling
Upcycling circular economy

PVC converters industry & recycling industry must work with EU authorities and Member States to ensure that they can contribute to the circular economy
Eco-design of the PVC converters industry must think of recyclability of their own waste and re-integrating recycling product in their production line.
Recycling is preferred end-of-life option from life cycle perspective. Landfill and incineration mean destruction of resources
Our example model: Vinyloop fulfils EU Circular economy principles
• Lower environmental impact
• Take back at end-of-life
• Recyclability
• Upcycling Circular Economy
