EPA denies petition to regulate discarded PVC as a hazardous
waste
WASHINGTON, April 26,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Vinyl Institute,
a U.S. trade association representing the leading manufacturers of
vinyl, today commented on the Environmental Protection Agency's
(EPA) denial of the Center for Biological Diversity's petition to
classify discarded PVC as hazardous waste under the Resource
Conservation and Recovery Act.
Below is a statement to be attributed to Ned Monroe, president and CEO of the Vinyl
Institute:
"The Vinyl Institute appreciates EPA's thorough review of
science-based evidence and agrees that the record clearly reflects
CBD's failure to justify its petition. Today's ruling reaffirms PVC
as a quality material of choice that is used widely to deliver
clean water, preserve our Nation's blood supply, construct energy
efficient buildings, and much more."
