Digital Product Passports for PVC Products: Driving Transparency, Sustainability, and Circular Economy

Digital Product Passports in PVC Products: Elevating Sustainability and Transparency

VinylPlus is the European PVC industry association committed to reducing the environmental footprint of PVC products, enhancing recyclability, and promoting circularity. In 2011, VinylPlus took a stand for sustainability by launching its Voluntary Sustainable Development Programme of the European PVC industry. Focusing on driving sustainable practices among PVC providers, this program has advanced from promoting waste reduction, lowering carbon emissions, and using safer additives, to achieving greater overall product transparency, circularity, and sustainability.

Delivering measurable results and meeting aspirational sustainability goals requires data and information shared across the supply chain in reliable, consistent formats that deliver complete product transparency. With this in mind, in January 2025, VinylPlus launched the VinylPlus Digital Passport Programme with the help of 3E and member companies, Beaulieu International Group, Renolit, and Sioen.
