heytex sign – PVC and the Environment

Thursday 03. April 2008 - Environmental Protection is our Company Philosophy

As a company taking up the cause of protection of the environment, Julius Heywinkel GmbH is convinced of the ecological competitiveness of PVC. Here are some of our reasons:

Sustainability:

For years, PVC manufacturers have been intensely optimizing the environmental compatibility and sustainability of PVC. Enormous progress in this sector has resulted in a positive re-evaluation of PVC.

Safety:

Because PVC has been the focus of criticism for decades it is one of the most tested materials ever, the processes and risks connected with its manufacture and waste disposal have been tested much better than those of newer materials. At the same time, PVC has been further developed to meet the growing economical, technological and of course ecological requirements.

Sparing resources is environmental protection:
– Products made of PVC can be manufactured and processed in an environmentally compatible way. The relatively low demand of en-ergy and natural oil consumption are clear advantages for the use of PVC
– Products made of PVC are long lasting – sparing resources, saving energy and costs
– Saving energy results in lower greenhouse gas emissions
These savings can be used for extensive ecological improvements.

Recycling:

Modern production and processing procedures help to avoid or to recycle PVC waste.

Economic factors:

PVC is
– cheap
– low-maintenance
– weather-resistant
– long-lasting
– Care of PVC items is easy and environmentally-friendly
– PVC creates and secures jobs, as the PVC industry is a growing one

Social factors:

The fact that PVC products are extremely cost-favorable, has an influence on all sectors of sustainable progress. Financial resources are saved and can be used to improve services in the social sector.
Conclusion:

For decades, PVC has been continuously improved and performs equivalent to or even better than new, competitive products. For these reasons we refuse to stop using PVC in general and at the same time we intensely work on verifying various approaches to solutions with alternative products (PVC substitutes).
