Vinyl Foundation fees 2008

PVC recycling is the responsibility of the whole of society. The new Vinyl Foundation contribution scheme has been established to meet the demands of the increasing volumes of mixed PVC recycling not covered by existing monostream systems. The PVC producers already contribute 70% of the costs based on the amount of PVC they manufacture.
The allocation of contributions from the PVC converters to provide the remaining 30% of the costs will be calculated based on supply of PVC resin to converters declared by the PVC producers to KPMG Fiduciaire. Contribution levels per tonne of resin supplied have been set to reflect funding already being made by some product types to well established national schemes, which will continue in parallel.

Production automatically exempted from Vinyl Foundation fees

Converters who produce products just for export can request an exemption from contributions to the Vinyl Foundation. The same applies to producers of PVC packaging (sheets), which already have an effective national collection and recycling scheme in place in the EU.

Apply to pay fees from a single central location

Payment requests will be issued to sales contact addresses supplied by the resin producers. However larger multi-centre companies may wish to pay fees from a single central location. This can be arranged by completing the online application form below:

Fixed fee for smaller volume converters

It is not cost-effective to issue payment requests based on volumes to converting businesses who purchase less than 300 tonnes of PVC resin per year because of the administration costs involved. However , these companies may still wish to make a contribution towards end-of-life recycling for their products and be recognised as a Vinyl 2010 partner, able to use the Vinyl 2010 logo in their marketing and appear on the Vinyl Foundation contributor list. If this is the case for your business you can choose to complete the online form below and pay a fixed minimum fee.
The SME fixed fee for 2008 has been set at €375
