Notes:
The markets for PVC resins have survived the continuing challenges provided by government regulations, competitive adversaries, and the changing geopolitical arena. Recent regulations regarding what constitutes a hazardous waste, the presence of heavy metals in the PVC product or compound, and how PVC products are thrown away have threatened market share. Resilient and robust PVC is meeting these challenges while growing nationally and globally. This review examines how PVC markets have been able to thrive in the face of Greenpeace attacks against chlorine-containing products. Projections are made about the global future of PVC markets with the advent of Europe 1992 and the opening of Eastern Europe and Russia.
