Interesting presentation. PVC/vinyl is a dirty word at my firm, after a lot of research we have determined it is irresponsible to specify when there are alternatives in the market based on toxic byproducts of virgin vinyl manufacturing and installation processes. The idea of using recycled material seems better but I remain skeptical and would like to see more manufacturers develop PVC-free alternatives. But this does make me feel a bit better about using recycled PVC products when we can’t find/afford an alternative.
