PVC was first discovered accidentally in the 1800s, but it was not until the early 1900s that it was deliberately manufactured. It then took a further 10 years before additives were found that made it more easily processable. Since this development it has found many uses in upholstery, vinyl records and building, primarily window profiles, fascias and guttering.
It also initially found use in childrens toys but later concerns regarding the leaching of the additives, particularly the phthalate plasticizers have put a stop to this almost worldwide. There are major issues surrounding the safety of production of PVC (the monomer vinyl chloride is a carcinogen), the subsequent disposal/recycling
think after the product life ends and the impact that these activities may have on the environment.
