The Vinyl Institute Comments on EPA’s Proposed Consent Decree Regarding PVC

By | May 2022

The comment below should be attributed to Ned Monroe, president and CEO of the Vinyl Institute, regarding the EPA’s proposed consent decree regarding Center for Biological Diversity’s petition about PVC:

“The Vinyl Institute supports a timely EPA review process. The Vinyl Institute will continue to cooperate with EPA staff to provide science-based information on petitions regarding PVC. Government health and safety agencies worldwide have studied PVC and recognize the importance of products such as PVC pipe that delivers clean drinking water and landfill liners that prevent groundwater contamination. If the EPA follows the science, as we expect they will, CBD’s petition will be denied.”
