Flexible PVC in Our Daily Life

In 2020, VinylPlus and PVC Information Council Denmark commissioned Ramboll Denmark to conduct a study on flexible PVC. The aim was to find out why plastic converters choose flexible PVC for specific products such as flooring, roofing membranes, tarpaulins, tents and medical devices.

Ramboll concludes that flexible PVC is irreplaceable in many important applications due to the materials' unique functional properties such as durability, weather-resistance and versatility.

Moreover, Ramboll finds that most of the products have a very long service life and are handled by professionals, which eases collection and recycling.

Throughout this booklet you will find several other reasons showing the unique properties flexible PVC can provide to products. They are durable, affordable and often beautiful applications. Many of them can concretely contribute to Europe’s green transition.
