This document discusses polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipes and their environmental impact. It covers that PVC is one of the most widely used plastics but has negative effects when produced and disposed. Specifically, the production of PVC releases toxic chemicals and it does not degrade in landfills. The document also provides alternatives to PVC pipes, the manufacturing process of PVC pipes, and suggests not throwing PVC pipes in the trash.

What is PVC? Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is one of the most widely used polymers in the world. Due to its versatile nature, PVC is used extensively across a broad range of industrial, technical and everyday applications including widespread use in building, transport, packaging, electrical/electronic and healthcare applications.
PVC is a very durable and long lasting material which can be

environment?
• PVC is the most environmentally
damaging plastic. The PVC lifecycle its production, use, and disposal which results in the release of toxic, chlorine-based chemicals. • PVC production is the largest and fastest-growing use of chlorine. • The manufacturing process of PVC is unsustainable. • It can disrupt the animal's hormones, causing birth defects, infertility, and developmental problems.

pipes made ?
1. Feeding of raw material pellets / powder
into the PVC twin screw extruder. 2. Melting and heating in multiple extruder zones. 3. Extruding through a die to shape into a pipe. 4. Cooling of the shaped pipe. 5. Cutting of PVC pipes to the desired length. 6. It can manufacture in various lengths, wall thickness, diameters and also according to international standards like DIN 8061, ASTM D1785 and ASTM F441 Go to next slide
