After many survey, the British association of plastic recently launched a small leaflet, lists of PVC as a cost efficient materials difficult to replace a variety of reasons.
First of all, PVC safety performance is high. PVC is the only proven in many plastic material can store human blood cells. PVC has been through a lot of European food contact and medical certification.
Second, PVC gm and durable. Light weight, good toughness, durable, is ideal material in the field of architecture. Because of high resolution and good performance of the senses, PVC is also suitable for some short term applications, such as food packaging.
Third, PVC can save fossil fuels. PVC made from 57% sodium chloride and 43% oil, compared with other common plastic, PVC by using the least amount of fossil fuels.
Fourth, PVC use less energy at a time. PVC production process is common plastic consumes the least energy at a time.
Fifth, PVC in the carbon emissions in the process of production is relatively small.
Sixth, the PVC price is higher. According to Brighton&Hove Council (housing management subcommittee) estimates, if use other products instead of PVC Windows and their five years building project cost have to increase by 8.5 million pounds, 30 years building project cost 30 million pounds.
Seventh, PVC save more energy. PVC Windows are the doors and Windows of energy efficiency ratings committee (BFRC) as A level of energy-saving Windows.
Eighth, PVC completely recyclable. PVC reprocessing of high performance, reuse or repeated use three times again, its carbon emissions are even smaller. In Europe, are recycled PVC waste of more than 300000 tons a year. In 2020, PVC recycled will amount to 800000 tons.
Ninth, PVC in commitment. During 2000-2010, each work all is in about PVC implementation: Europe established a sustainable PVC recycling system; Heavy metal additives being phased out; The UN commission on sustainable development Vinyl2010 organization was founded.
The tenth, PVC industry is undergoing a proactive thinking. A revolutionary new industry called Viny Plus sustainable project has been established.
