The Brighton 2005 Conference Sustainability of PVC:

This conference was a major gathering of the professionals in the PVC production and processing industry in Europe. During this conference the sustainability of PVC was discussed and papers put forward.

The EU policy and investigation is summarised as follows:

7 years of EU investigations have highlighted over 50 years of safe PVC usage. No finding has been made to justify any discrimination against PVC.

Dioxin emissions at incinerators were demonstrated not to be due to PVC waste.

The outcome of all the Phthalate plasticiser assessments, all issues were solved.

These studies are regarded as the most comprehensive compilation of toxicological, ecotox and exposure data available. Phthalates are amongst the most thoroughly researched substances in the world.

DINP and DIDP now clearly do not pose a risk to any sector of the population via any exposure scenario.
Most recent exposure and Tox data for DEHP shows many of the original "supposed" risks simply do not exist.
Phthalates have little impact on human health and should continue to be used in all applications ratified in the EU assessments.

EU policy was thus stated:
No restriction on PVC in any application 
PVC usage is growing in the EU and at a global level, and will continue to do so. When PVC is compared to all alternatives on the basis of life cycle analysis, PVC is now either equivalent to alternatives or the most favourable solution.
