PVC: the weapon for Basketball Wars

“Basketball is like war in that offensive weapons are developed first, and it always takes a while for the defence to catch up.” – Red Auerbach

PVC is ahead of the game. 20,000 sq metres grace the Olympics 2012 Basketball arena with over 122,000 sq metres used from velodrome to stadium roof.  With VinylPlus galloping on the heels of its victorious predecessor Vinyl 2010, PVC is proactively and strategically in an offensive position.

Mark Prisk MP, Minister for Business & Enterprise says, ‘The PVC industry in the UK is a significant economic contributor with an annualised turnover of over 25 billion and is an employer of over 50,000 people. Initiatives such as these give me great cause for confidence in the industry’s future’.

On Thursday 10th November, the British Plastics Federation (BPF) will bring together Olympic 2012 architect, Sam Wright of Wilkinson Eyre Architects whose evolutionary design is as high performing as the cavalcade of performers who will grace its floors next year, Helmuth Leitner of ECVM with all Vinyl 2010 successes slam dunked and Arjen Sevenster (ECVM) bounding forward with the competitive edge of VinylPlus under his arm plus other PVC experts in the ‘PVC: New Challenges, New Opportunities’ seminar.

The seminar will provide a unique insight into the latest progressive sustainability programmes that position PVC at the forefront of industrial materials and how it helps achieve society's environmental objectives.
