August 2016 / If it lasts, it’s sustainable

PVC is quite literally a sustainable product. A PVC pipe can easily last for 100 years, and PVC window frames have a service life of 30 years. Other plastics have a much shorter service life. Rigid PVC is extremely strong and ideal for recycling: it can be reused at least four times.
