Day 2 of the “Introduction to PVC” course, Circular Energy NPC team members participated in an insightful site visit to the Sasol Polymer Science Testing Centre. This hands-on experience deepened our understanding of the rigorous testing and quality assurance processes that underpin responsible PVC manufacturing and recycling.

Key highlights included:

-Exploring advanced polymer analysis and quality control equipment
-Observing real-world demonstrations of PVC testing methods
- Gaining a clearer view of how high standards in testing support product safety, compliance, and sustainability

This visit reinforced the critical role of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in the PVC value chain. By ensuring that products are tested, traceable, and compliant from production through to end-of-life, we can drive better environmental outcomes and support a circular economy.

Circular Energy NPC remains committed to championing EPR and best practices in the industry. We look forward to applying these learnings to further empower our members and partners in building a more sustainable future.
