PVC's Days Are Numbered

PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a form of plastic that can be found essentially everywhere. 50 million tons are produced each year for things like vinyl records, window frames, toys, car seats, and even medical devices. But its essential ingredients are known carcinogens, and now several countries have either put bans in place or are considering them. 

A healthy future may be a world without PVC-based products. It will take us many years to get there, but it appears that the clock is now ticking. 

It’s “the worst of the worst” when it comes to plastics
