Overview
Overview - Product Stewardship
| The PVC industry’s Product Stewardship Program (PSP), also known as ‘the Program’, is a voluntary initiative setting out a series of commitments to address environmental and health issues associated with the life cycle of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or vinyl. These commitments bind the 26 Signatories to deliver specific outcomes. The PSP is an ongoing, long-term undertaking by the Australian PVC industry to recognise, and progressively address, all relevant environmental issues within responsible and deliverable timeframes. The PVC industry's Product Stewardship Program is one of Australia’s most established stewardship programs. Since the PSP’s inception in 2002, measurable progress has been achieved in meeting – and advancing – our commitments. A progress summary, 5 Year Evaluation Report, was issued in 2008. It is, we believe, somewhat unique in Australia because of its whole-of-life cycle focus and supply chain support. Contact the Vinyl Council of Australia or any PSP Signatory for information about the Program. |
