The BPF Vinyls Group represents the UK PVC industry to government, customers and media in the UK and Brussels. PVC faces specific issues in the market place and so representatives from forward-thinking PVC producers, converters, additives suppliers and recyclers finance this Group in a focussed programme of activity.
The Group's activities are decided on by the Vinyls Group Steering Committee chaired by Alex Hay of Arkema UK.
A strategic communications programme including public relations campaigns and production of promotional resources is managed by the Vinyls Communications Committee chaired by Brian Cosgrove of Solvay.
A full agenda for managing the threats of deselection of PVC in the market place through a false sense of its environmental or health impact is managed by the Vinyls Applications Committee chaired by Roger Mottram of Ineos ChlorVinyls (UK).
The implementation of the various pledges for PVC production, additives and waste management in the UK embraced in the Vinyl 2010 Voluntary Commitment to the European Commission is co-ordinated by the Voluntary Commitment Implementation Committee chaired by Jason Leadbitter (Ineos ChlorVinyls UK) and includes a project task force chaired by Roger Mottram (Ineos ChlorVinyls UK).
Day-to-day management of the PVC issues are managed by the BPF team and vital intelligence on the current state of regulation, political discussions including those in the UK Government and the European Commission, and swift responses to misinformation in the public domain, are all distributed to Vinyls Group sponsor companies.
