The end of PVC plastic?

One of the things I learned in the early years of my environmental advocacy is that burning of PVC plastic is dangerous. It releases a deadly chemical compound called dioxin which is carcinogenic and can cause reproductive and developmental problems and damage to the immune system. This is one of the reasons why environmentalists oppose incineration as a method of disposing solid waste. I was then a member of the Zero Waste Recycling Movement of the Philippines which advocates the good old 3R’s (Reduce, Reuse, Recycling) and composting as the eco-friendly way of managing solid waste.
