It is presented by stalwarts and experts in the industry and covers a wide range of topics, ranging from the size, scope, and challenges facing the local and international vinyl industry, to manufacturing processes, use of additives and stabilisers, SAVA's product stewardship programme, and recycling. Delegates were also given a tour of Sasol's testing facility, where they were able to observe the range of tests available to the industry”.
