As expectations around sustainability, product safety and responsible manufacturing continue to shape the future of the PVC industry, having a clear understanding of the facts is increasingly important for everyone working across the vinyl value chain.

The US Vinyl Institute’s new four-part “The Town Hall” education series provides VCA members with a valuable resource for strengthening their understanding of modern vinyl and communicating its role in a more sustainable future.

Led by industry expert Jay Thomas, the series examines vinyl’s contribution to essential applications including healthcare, infrastructure, clean water and the built environment. It also tackles common misconceptions through a data-driven examination of hazard and risk, resource efficiency, responsible manufacturing and manufacturer responsibility.

For VCA members involved in manufacturing, specification, sales, design or advocacy, the series provides useful insights to support more informed conversations about PVC’s performance, sustainability and ongoing industry improvements.

The four presentations are available for download:

• Responsible Vinyl Manufacturing
• Evaluating Hazard and Risk
• Resource Efficiency
• Manufacturer Responsibility
