Turtally sustainable PVC beads - Renderplas Managing Director tells us how

Like his father before him, current managing director of Renderplas, Daniel Leedham-Green, is absolutely committed to ensuring that the production of millions of linear meters of Renderplas PVC beads every year used for rendering, plastering, dry lining and external wall insulation, actually contribute to a sustainable environment rather than harming it... When Renderplas was launched almost 30 years ago, not many of us understood the potential threat to our environment caused by single use plastic. Since those days, we have all become much more aware of the effect that mass consumerism is having on our planet; in particular the effects of single use plastics which can fail to break down, remaining as whole or partial objects littering the ocean – who can forget the terrible image of the poor sea turtle with a drinking straw up its nose and countless other images of wildlife ensnared or harmed by discarded single use plastic items? Even in the early nineties, however, many people were already switched on to this issue, amongst them Renderplas founder, Kevin Leedham-Green, who was aware and concerned enough about safeguarding the environment to ensure that the PVC beads he was manufacturing had a high content of recycled material: stop beads, bellcasts and corner beads were all made from 100% recycled material. With the worldwide building and construction industry acknowledged as a massive producer of plastics, second only to the packaging industry, how does the current MD, Daniel Leedham-Green, reconcile this with his ideals of sustainability? Daniel was happy to answer some questions on this issue, in order to try and dispel some of the myths around single use plastics in the construction industry and promote a positive and progressive discussion around the issue.....
