Learn the truth behind the most common vinyl myths:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Vinyl is Not Recyclable \u2013<\/strong> Vinyl is recyclable<\/a>! It\u2019s considered a thermoplastic, which means that it can melt and be remolded as many times as necessary. In fact, vinyl scraps saved from garbage and recycling provide about 1 billion pounds of material to make new vinyl products every single year and 99% of manufactured vinyl is used in multiple products. That means only 1% of vinyl is wasted. Want more convincing? Around 18 million pounds of used vinyl is recycled every year to be used in everything from more windows to pool liners, fences and more.<\/p>\n

Vinyl is Bad for the Environment \u2013<\/strong> Some people think that vinyl is a big source of dioxin, a by-product of different industrial and incineration processes that\u2019s bad for the environment. But in reality, it\u2019s not. In fact, as reported by the EPA, the dioxin levels in the atmosphere have been declining for the last thirty years, which is the same timeframe that vinyl production has tripled. So, the amount of dioxin in the atmosphere would be the same with or without vinyl.<\/p>\n

All Synthetic Materials like Vinyl are Bad for the Environment \u2013<\/strong> Just because something is synthetic doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s bad. All materials, no matter if they\u2019re natural or man-made, have an impact on our planet \u2013 and vinyl\u2019s might even be good! A\u202f2014 AAMA study\u202ffound that vinyl provides environmental benefits equal to or better than those of other synthetic building materials.<\/p>\n

Vinyl Fuels Building Fires \u2013<\/strong> Most vinyl is made from a mixture that contains 57% salt; Since salt is resistant to combustion, vinyl does not fuel fires. In reality, vinyl can help slow down the spread of a fire and save lives. Also, the National Electrical Code of the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) approved vinyl for use as insulation for electrical and data transmission cables and uses in the interior of airplanes. It is important to note that vinyl does melt when exposed to fire and release carbon monoxide. But that is true of almost every single substance.<\/p>\n

Remember, vinyl isn\u2019t as bad as some people think it is, especially since the building products industry has had recent and significant advancements in technology. Vinyl isn\u2019t dangerous or harmful, it can actually be helpful!<\/p>\n
