Companies: Sign the PVC-Free Pledge

Safe, cost-effective, alternatives to PVC are readily available for virtually every use.  Recognizing the myriad of environmental health threats posed by the PVC lifecycle, numerous governments and companies have already enacted PVC restrictions or have policies to eliminate PVC. 

In addition to the many environmental and health benefits, there are many strategic business advantages for phasing out PVC.  By phasing out toxic PVC, this helps to build public trust, protect brand reputation, and safeguard and grow market share by anticipating further regulation and recall/legal liabilities. Such actions can significantly and positively raise a company’s environmental profile, enhance its reputation and competitive position worldwide.  In our media outreach, through our website and through community forums, we highlight companies that phase out PVC products and packaging in order to promote safe and healthy consumer products and companies that sell them.  For example, we worked collaboratively with one major company to promote their PVC phase out resulting in many favorable news articles around the country. 

Sign the PVC-Free Pledge

We encourage you to sign the PVC-Free Pledge and develop a plan to switch to safe alternatives.  We encourage you to contact us if you’d like to learn more about PVC hazards, discuss opportunities to phase out PVC, and learn about other company strategies to address PVC.
