LCA activities in PVC the trade

Abstract

A basic chemical product like polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin is essentially a single material, although it comes in various grades. Not much of LCA studies have been undertaken for PVC materials or components.

Although it is not of an academic topic, a general description is made regarding the LCA promotion activities and data provision by the PVC and related industries.

By achieving widespread use of LCA methods, the industry expect rational and comprehensive judgment to spread among the field of material procurement, and for PVC products to be evaluated fairly and to be used widely.
