1 Product Label Headlines VinylPlus January 2015 Stefan Eingärtner

2 Visible partnership with VinyPlus Company partnership Product label Annual Certificate for companies funding and committing to the VinylPlus programme and its targets VinylPlus product label for outstanding solutions found by VinylPlus partners, carrying the VinylPlus vision 2

3 VinylPlus Partnership Certificate

4 The product label logo preliminary version 4

5 The product label strategic focus High credibility through BRE and TNS Combine Responsible Sourcing certification and VinylPlus programme Combine a label (marketing and communication) with a verified technical audit (credible technical format), Independent scheme, third party verification audits Focus on converters, adress upstream products in a second step Concentrate first on building and construction / GPP Use exisiting EU standards, self declared label with external verification, the industry stays in control Use the expertise of BRE to integrate and shortcut learning Create a learning element, the criteria scheme as a moving target Build around the term Sustainable development, not yet covered in a label / certification by any other group, but receiving high attention Create a maximum of synergy with existing industry schemes 5

6 Target 1: Increase programme visibility 6

7 Why a product label programme visibility Increase visibility of VinylPlus along the value chain Walk our talk, demonstrate our commitment You can see it on products, a positive approach Facilitate Pro-PVC decisions in procurement / prescribers GPP is becoming SPP, we have the right answer Game changer to reach critical audience again, build trust Find a suitable way to go back and communicate with brand owners / local authorities who deselected PVC 7

8 Target 2: Attract companies to join VinylPlus 8

9 Why a product label more companies to join Attract other converters/downstream actors to join Encourage and reward VinylPlus partnership efforts Stimulate further sustainability progress and innovation Again we pioneer and lead the way Stimulate the pull market approach and increase recycling Visualize value of more sustainable solutions 5 to 10 years ago EPD were not on many people`s horizon. Today the European verified EPD (EN 15804) is becoming relatively common. A similar thing may occur with responsible sourcing and sustainable procurement labelling. Derek Hughes BRE 9

10 Creating Synergies The VinylPlus product label strives to reduce extra work and create synergies with others existing labels and certifications: accept several other certifications as is to fullfill the label criteria scheme (ISO 9001 / etc.) accept VinylPlus programme participation as a way to fullfill certain criteria in the scheme start a dialogue with existing schemes about the VinylPlus label and invite them to reference VinylPlus viceversa allow companies auditing the industry today to audit the label 10

11 The criteria scheme Questions asked - 1 Are You partner of VinylPlus? Organisational Management Requirements Responsible Sourcing policy? Procedure to safeguard legal compliance? Quality management System Purchasing process and approval of suppliers Supply Chain Management Requirements Tracebility of 60% for direct input materials Environmental mangement system Health and Safety management systems 11

12 The criteria scheme Questions asked -2 Controlled Loop Recycling content in the assessed product Waste reduction, building controlled loops Design for re-use and recycling Organo-chlorine Emissions Resin used in manufacturing / ECVM charter Sustainable use of Additives No Cadmium, Lead 12

13 The criteria scheme Questions asked - 3 Sustainable Energy and Climate Stability Greenhouse gas emissions, energy efficiency improvement Renewable energy resources Monitor and improve transport impacts Develop LCA / EPDs Sustainability Awareness Live the VinylPlus program in Your company Create stakeholder awareness 13
