Vinyl/PVC

Vinyl or PVC is a cheap plastic material. Because PVC is cheap and easy to process, it is still often used. Price-performance considerations are often of decisive importance.

PVC does not have a good reputation, this is because it used to be very toxic, bad for the environment & has been associated with the use of plasticisers in the news. Nowadays, this negative perception is no longer justified, due to the strict requirements that apply (especially for packaging) and new development techniques, it is a safe and good alternative to other plastics. Frequently used PVC packaging items are: tape & gloves.
