 REHAU has produced a sustainability brochure designed to dispel the myths surrounding the manufacture, use and recycling of PVC in construction.
It sets out independent research finding from bodies as diverse as the BRE (Building Research Establishment), WRAP (Waste Research Action Programme) and various British government and EU studies to support the use of PVC as a safe, reliable, cost-effective, sustainable and recyclable material.
The company describes the brochure as an attempt to objectively counter the negative perceptions surrounding the use of PVC-U windows in the commercial and specification sector.
The brochure encourages specifiers to consider the 'Three Pillars of Sustainability' - social, economic and environmental - as laid out in the 1987 Brundtland Report 'Our Common Future.'
