Sustainable Urban Gardening with a Social Responsibility and Focus on PVC Waste
 
After many years in service, PVC building applications end up in the waste stream. Typical applications are pipes, windows, gutters, cables covers and roofing sheets. Today more and more PVC building waste is being mechanically recycled. Reusing PVC building waste in urban agriculture prolongs the life of the building applications before recycling.

Maja Sønderskov’s vision to reuse PVC building applications in urban agriculture is financed by VinylPlus. The project will be presented at the Vinyl Sustainability Forum in Vienna in April 2016.
