PVC-U recyclability and fire safety key messages at Ecobuild 2010, 2 to 4 March, Earls Court, London
February 01 2010
Specifier information resource PVCaware.org, run by the British Plastics Federation, takes a bigger stand at Ecobuild 2010 to demonstrate the recyclability and fire retardancy of PVC-U windows.
Information will include how old PVC windows are being made in to new frames and hundreds of other items and how, following recent fires in tower blocks, PVC-U acts as a fire-retardant that inhibits the spread of flames.
Philip Law, a director at the BPF said: “PVC-U is a great material for today’s building industry. For windows it scores top marks for sustainability in the BRE Green Guide. It can be recycled over and over again. It has excellent energy ratings. It is safe, versatile and highly affordable compared with alternatives. At Ecobuild we’ve been able to answer many quite in-depth enquires before and hope to again.”
PVCaware.org is on stand 1255. For more information visit PVCaware.org
