This is the inaugural edition of the VIC Sector Briefing, a new newsletter from the Vinyl Institute of Canada. We are launching on a quarterly basis to start, with an eye toward moving to monthly editions once the format has proven out. Each edition tracks the regulatory, market, and sustainability developments most relevant to our members, from federal plastics reporting requirements and provincial producer responsibility programs to PVC pricing trends and construction demand. Every article includes a “Vinyl relevance” note explaining why it matters to your business, along with sourcing if you want to dig deeper.

We built this briefing to save you time by pulling the developments that matter most into a single read. We would love your feedback, reply anytime with topics you would like to see covered or questions about anything below.
