To be Used in Freefoam's New Sustainable PVC-UE Cladding
The first delivery of NEOVYN™ was made to Freefoam to meet the growing demand for lower carbon products from their own customers, and will be used in Freefoam's new sustainable PVC-UE cladding. PVC-UE benefits from an average lifespan of 35 years and can be recycled up to 10 times without loss of quality or performance - making this material ideally suited to promote sustainability in building and construction.
Wouter Bleukx, INEOS Inovyn business manager commented, 'NEOVYN™ demonstrates our commitment to providing industry leadership towards the reduction of CO2 in PVC. It helps our customers to reduce their own scope 3 emissions and enables them to market lower carbon applications.'
'INEOS Inovyn and Freefoam Building Products share a commitment to providing market leading innovative solutions that prioritize sustainability.'
Available from Sites Using Renewable Energy
NEOVYN™ will be progressively available from different INEOS Inovyn production sites using access to renewable energy sources, which includes local hydroelectric power from Norway, electricity from North Sea wind turbines in Antwerp and our solar energy in Jemeppe, combined with the use of low carbon hydrogen and the developments in electrification technology.
With these steps INEOS Inovyn continues providing industry leadership, putting in place long-term structural solutions to drive a sustainable step change in the carbon footprint abatement of the PVC value chain – to meet the 2030 green-house gas reduction targets.
The new range is certified under the ISCC (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) PLUS scheme.
