EPDS PVC

This Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is based upon life cycle inventory (LCI) data from PlasticsEurope’s Eco-profile programme.

This Environmental Product Declaration has been prepared according to PlasticsEurope’s Product Category Rules (PCR) for Uncompounded Polymer Resins and Reactive Polymer Precursors (June 2006). It provides environmental performance data, but no information on the economic and social aspects (which would be necessary for a complete sustainability assessment).
