💡 Old PVC pipes don't have to become waste. 💚 With Mexico, we've added another country to our growing Take Back Service network, collecting used PVC pipes and turning them back into raw material for new products.    The timing is right. In February 2026, the Mexican government introduced the General Law on Circular Economy, providing additional momentum for initiatives that reduce waste and promote material reuse. We'll soon be publishing a Positioning Paper that takes a closer look at what this means for the construction and infrastructure sector. Stay tuned.    Our Take Back Service continues to grow. Already active in the Netherlands, Sweden, Brazil and Colombia, the network now also includes Mexico. Together, these programs help keep valuable PVC/PE/PP materials in use and out of landfill.   For customers, that means less waste to manage on-site, access to products containing recycled content, and a practical way to reduce the environmental impact of their projects. From LCA studies we can conclude that plastic products made with 100% circular raw material can reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 80% compared with virgin polymers.    Kudos to our colleagues at Amanco Wavin México!
