SHOCKING NEWS - THE SPIN AND HYPE ON REPLACING PVC MAY BE JUST THAT - SPIN AND HYPE AND NOT TRUE !

In defence of PVC by Dale Hambilton
PVC is an excellent sleeve material, as are PET and OPS. As a sleeve manufacturer, Decorative Sleeves is committed to delivering an appropriate packaging solution for every customer. This means selecting the most suitable material for each application; in many cases this will be PVC.
In recent years there has been a noticeable resistance to PVC from several customers, largely because of PVC's poor environmental reputation and the negative, and frequently inaccurate comment that it seems to generate in the media. It is time to set the record straight.
In June 2004 the European Commission published a review of more than 100 PVC environmental life-cycle studies, comparing PVC products with alternatives.

The review concluded that the substitution of PVC is not recommended in any application and, from an environmental standpoint, that there is no reason to treat PVC differently to other materials.

The fact is that if any material is scrutinised closely, as PVC has been, then room for improvement can be found. The PVC industry has responded to this scrutiny by putting an environmental improvement programme in place.
The industry is increasing the amount of PVC recycling through the Vinyl 2010 initiative, and the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development has now registered Vinyl 2010 as an official partner.
Today the amount of PVC recycling is limited by the amount collected, rather than any technical limitations relating to recyclability.
PVC, in common with most other plastics, contributes to energy recovery programmes and waste can be managed safely by controlled combustion or landfill disposal.
Once the environmental arguments are overcome, PVC can compete against other sleeve materials on a level playing field. All have different strengths. PVC is easy to control during the shrink process and cost-effective, it has good scuff resistance and is available in pasteurisable grades. PET offers a higher percentage of shrink, which is an advantage in some applications, and may also be pasteurised.
OPS is appropriate for some types of squeezy containers because its lower vertical shrink properties may give a more consistent finish in certain applications.
There are no simple answers as to which material to choose. It really does depend on the requirements of each product or pack. However, none of these materials should be selected solely on the grounds of their perceived environmental advantage over the others. Remembering that, and countering other misinformation about PVC, will enable manufacturers to consider and specify the material with a clear conscience.
Further information about PVC can be found at www.pifa.co.uk and www.bpf.co.uk. Details of the European Commission's studies are at www.europa.eu.int

you are fond of asking questions.......heres one for you.

how come nearly every thread has a resident doom monger, posting 24/7, and ALWAYS with no interest in the stock they deride?

there may be the odd philanthropist eager to save us poor souls from ourselves, but basically i really dont see the point.

Just to let you know that we do monitor this thread (and all others). We have today removed a poster who was trying to be clever by creating a user name mimicing someone elses.

We take these things pretty seriously and as we have done in the past, we will not hesitate to contact their IP provider or workplace(if using a work email) to ensure that their IP address is blocked so that such a breach does not occur again.

Also we should set out once again our posting policy!

"Contributions must not:

i think it's pretty clear he is annoying most of us.

btw, what's a t trade?

Got to say i agree with you bosley, i posted something on the rampers thread but got steamed in to by some one,, it seems this is ok for one , but the joker who i found quite funny and wasn't harassing anyone had to go (and no it wasn't me), i will be keeping my investment in SEO but im a bit fed up of this thread,,your all good guys and girls ,,but it seems moneyam are quite happy to let this person harass,,alarm,,and annoy..JB..

Baza
on what grounds do i put a fiver in the swear box?

Ditto!

harass,alarm, annoy, bug and waste our time with irrelevant posts
Even if we squelch, others keep commenting on him so have to read those posts!

Think time to reinstate insiderInsider and get rid of the TRUE source of the problem: ii!

Click on Help, and then on Trades it will give you a list, copy print and stick it on your screen, on second thoughts by your keyboard.
Who are they getting rid of Don Q 1 or Don Q 2 who sounded like a very nice boy?

with you on that one sid...
whilst the sp is bobbing about and were all waiting for some more good news, its good to have "a bit of a laugh" and not have to read someones constant doom ,pesimism and scaremongering!!

superrod - in your mail 3960 you referred to him who we dont refer to - the penalty being a fiver in the swear box - to be used at Doncaster when we celebrate

Baza

superrod
You can use the term Don Q to get round 1910's exorbitant amount.

fair enough

Not sure if thats a yellow card Superrod !!!!

Anyway - nice tight spread - does that mean anything? - like MM's getting short of stock ?

Ok Tim has forecast 50p as a new target price, do we think this is realistic in the short term, will the BPRG fiasco have any bearing on this or do we think the court case is now chicken feed compared to the revenue generated by Asda etc etc? Welcome anyones comments as wondering if its worth dipping my toe in again...

adieh, short term forcast can be anything you want it to be. you already know this is driven by news and it seems that there is plenty in the pipeline, asda , potentially walmart, frogpack in uk and america. the cc is there in the background but , i feel , already factored in, (although if the cc does go against them in the court of appeal then there could well be a short term dip). as always dyor, but it would be good to have your input on this thread. also, you should have held in the first place!!!! :)
