Environment - Background 145 million tonnes of plastic is still
buried each year globally Ambitious recycling targets but over 50%
of plastic ends in landfill 45 million tonnes of PVC is still made
every year 1% of the PVC manufactured is ever recycled Other less
harmful plastics can be recycled But recycling capacity is patchy
Questionable value of some of the resultant recycled products 10
millions tonnes of plastic still landfilled in Europe each year
Taking centuries to degrade Leaching harmful toxins into the soil
Using Nu Stone reduces plastic in landfill by 60 80% Nu Stone has
some genuinely unique post life recycling / reuses 14
15 Environment PVC explored What Greenpeace say... Polyvinyl
chloride (PVC) is unique in its high chlorine and additives
content, which makes it an environmental poison throughout its life
cycle. Vinyl chloride is a known human carcinogen. PVC releases
dioxin and other persistent organic pollutants during its
manufacture and disposal and cannot be readily recycled due to it
chlorine and additive content. Furthermore, additives are not bound
to the plastic and leach out PVC an environmental poison throughout
its life cycle Greenpeace and PVC 1. PVC 2. PU, PS, ABS, PC 3. PET
4. PE, PP 5. Biobased polymers
16 Environment From the earth, back to the earth The following
graphic illustrates that Nu Stone starts its life as a bi product
of the mineral mining industry and can end its life back in the
earth as a soil additive
