New president for Vinyl Foundation
On December 15, Michael Kundel (presently CEO of Renolit) was elected as Vinyl Foundation new president. The Foundation is entrusted with the collection of funds from the European PVC converting and compounding industries to fulfill its voluntary commitment set in March 2000. Since then, Vinyl 2010 has been progressing the sustainable development of the PVC industry. Kundel wishes to reach a recycle-target of an additional 200,000 tons of PVC waste within this year and calls on all PVC converters to join the foundation. At the same time, the industry will be looking into the detailed framework of a new Vinyl 2020 commitment.
