A Case Study of a PVC Pipe Recycling Program

摘要

For the past three years, our company has had a program with the City of Abbotsford to accept its surplus PVC sewer and water pipe for recycling back into sewer pipe production. PVC end-cuts are generated when full lengths are cut off to allow various fittings to be placed at their designated locations in the water and sewer systems throughout the City of Abbotsford. "We are committed to the sustainability of the environment," said Jim Gordon, P. Eng., Director of Engineering, City of Abbotsford, "and this program has added another dimension to our already extensive recycling initiatives. The fact that we can partner with a local producer/employer to accomplish this end is an added bonus."
