Why Choose PVCu?

PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride and is a thermoplastic which means it can be re-melted and is therefore recyclable. Unlike the other thermoplastics which are entirely derived from oil, PVC is made from 57% salt which gives it some unique technical properties and helps it to deliver unbeatable value.

However, lingering negative perceptions about PVC are based more on ignorant prejudice than sound scientific facts. Full Life cycle assessments (LCAs) demonstrate PVC’s advantages versus alternative materials based on real sustainability criteria.

The document ‘12 Good Reasons to Specify PVC Products’ has been produced by the BPF (British Plastics Federation) Vinyls Group. It provides information on why PVC is hard to beat as a resource and cost efficient material.
