The topics and industry experts on the PVC 2024 agenda promises to make this an event not to be missed, it is poised to delve into a myriad of pivotal industry themes, such as additives, lean manufacturing, market dynamics, net-zero carbon initiatives, plastisols, polymerisation, regulatory compliance, environmental stewardship, and discourse on the circular economy.

Andy Tombs, the Commercial Director of Benvic Dugdale, expressed his enthusiasm, stating, "We are delighted to once again play a central role in the advancement of our industry and to contribute to technical innovation and strategic environmental thinking." He also emphasised the significance of being able to engage in face-to-face interactions in Scotland's vibrant capital, providing an ideal setting for networking and sharing industry insights.

It is anticipated that Benvic Dugdale will utilise PVC 2024 to unveil a fresh range of PVC compounds meticulously crafted to thrive within the burgeoning circular economy. Detailed insights into this new suite of compounds are slated for release in early April, just ahead of the conference commencement.

These forthcoming compounds from Benvic Dugdale have been created in direct response to customer demands, reflecting the increasing prominence of the circular economy as a driving force in today's economic landscape.
