Is PVC The New Tobacco ?

As many of you already know, cigarette smoke contains substantial amount of harmful chemicals. Some of these chemicals are called carcinogens, which means cancer-causing chemicals. Cigarette smoke contains over thirty notable carcinogens.

Did you know that PVC is made from vinyl chloride, which is listed as a human carcinogen, in the Fourteenth Report on Carcinogens published by the National Toxicology Program! ! PVC generally also contains dioxins, phthalates, and BPA, which are suspected to be endocrine disruptors, which are chemicals that may interfere with the production or activity of hormones in the human endocrine system.

Research over the last fifty years – on animals and shows that vinyl chloride in PVC factories – causes a rare cancer of the liver called Angiosarcoma. This condition could result from either small dosages over a long period of time (such as with the factory workers) or one large dose in a small amount of time (as with testing animals). Cigarette smoke contains 5.6 to 27 nanograms of vinyl chloride per cigarette. This amount is not immediately harmful, but over time it can cause serious damage to the liver. PVC exposure is higher than these figures. Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide and it is the second leading cause of death in the United States! 

Could the usage of PVC around us be actually affecting our health? 


U. S. National Library of Medicine says, ‘Yes’. In the article, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) on their website, they mention that you can be exposed to PVC if you have PVC pipes, vinyl flooring, or other consumer products made with PVC. Exposure may occur through food packaging and containers or “shrink-wrapped” packages.

Don’t you worry, there are many solutions which are present in the market today, but as smokers don’t throw away their cigarettes, in the same way industry-men have been stuck with PVC for too long now.

But it’s time to change.
And the change has already started !

PVC Like Polyethylene (PVCL PE) Meat Wrap Films
Comparision Between PVC Films and Innovative PVC Like Polyethylene Films

Rightly so, worldwide, PVC has been banned in many products such as children’s toys, stationery materials, etc. In several European countries, the usage of PVC as food packaging material has been banned. However, we don’t know how long it will take for USA to ban it, or if would only come as a warning signal. But, at least we have a choice of our own. So why choose cancer? Choose PE-based Forvara® Meat wrap instead of PVC.

PE films are 100% recyclable, Eco- friendly, BPA free, do not contain any plasticizers, stabilizers, phthalates or carcinogenic elements. We also need to note that, although in some cases cancer is curable but the impact of PVC causes irreparable damage to the environment as PVC can never be recycled completely. Moreover, If it’s burnt, it releases dioxin, a toxic element, which further degrades our environment. Every time you purchase a PVC product you not only endanger yourself, you endanger the whole planet.

Single-Use Plastics in Fresh Food Packaging Industry

The human nature to prioritize durability and convenience over long-term impacts has been one of the key highlights of the throwaway culture. The throwaway culture which began after World War 2 has been one of the key reasons to an exponential increase in piling up of waste across the world. 

Though, we are seeing a paradigm shift and people are becoming more conscious of this behavior but there is no denying that deep down a lot of us have accepted the fact that there is no escape from Single-Use Plastics and they are indispensable to many industries and applications. 

A proof of this is the fact that trendsetters like USA have been very cautious in laying down laws for single-use plastics and it has been done only for a few specific applications. One could argue that this has been done just to show that public opinion is being valued by the law.

If we look at the current scenario, many large corporates are on the right path to rethinking use of plastics and by the next decade we might see some major changes in our Single Use Plastic waste generation. But what the world needs is to drastically reduce our plastic waste generated today and a decade of single use plastics is something which the world cannot afford. The 3Rs were first introduced in the last century and Single-Use plastics are still thriving at the cost of our environment.

Single Use Plastics in Fresh Food Packaging

One of the most commonly used Single Use plastic applications are in the Fresh Food Packaging Industry (PVC films). This is also an industry where paper products cannot become a natural substitute for most applications.

We cannot ignore the fact that many innovations have been made in the Packaging industry, but we cannot deny that the fresh food packaging industry has been devoid of such innovations and has failed to move on from Single Use Plastics.

Many packaging specialists believe that the infrastructure set up for packaging is investment intensive and the incentive to switch from Single-Use Plastics to other options is low. Training costs will also be very high given the volume of population employed in this industry.

Thus, the most perfect solution on offer would be a solution which can work with the existing infrastructure and requires minimal training while giving similar results as the Single-Use Plastics can.

This hypothetical Win-win situation is a food for thought for many industry leaders and pioneers. While many prefer to remain in their comfort zone and choose to go with the flow, the one who chooses to stand against the tide and do the unthinkable will change the shape of this industry and prove to the world that the Fresh Food Packaging Industry is capable of redefining and reinventing itself whenever required.

An Era of Change

Last few years have seen an era where many entrepreneurs are venturing into this space. Specialty Polyfilms is one such organization building its foundation on the use of Recyclable plastics in the Fresh Food Packaging industry. Being a first in recyclable overwrapping films applications, there are very few direct substitutes of its range of products. With properties superior to single-use plastics and 100% recyclability, the cautiously moving industry has so far been less averse to such a change. 

This change is proposed at a minimal cost and is the most acceptable solution in the market right now, which is why it attracts a lot of intrigue from many industry giants and many players are looking up to Specialty Polyfilms for more such revolutionary ideas.

Who is the culprit?

Most of us have become potentially well aware of the ramifications of BPA in plastic, and we give our valiant efforts to keep ourselves and children away from it. We make sure we do not buy products that have BPA in it. But should this mean that we do not mention another harmful and the most significant culprit in plastics

- The PVC?

Healthy Child is a Healthy Future!!

PVC—polyvinyl chloride or vinyl that has been described as a cancer-causing agent by World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research is found in a list of items right inside your safe homes, starting from children’s toys, medical aids to food packaging. This good faced, deceptive content is high on chlorine and makes toxic pollution in the form of dioxins that accumulates in animal’s fat reaching the extremes of the food chain. 

Not just the aftereffects, but there are various negative ecological effects from the creation and utilization of this material, for example, issues in discarding PVC, make it tough to be reused. Plastic today has also invaded the Salt that we eat in the form of micro-plastics. 

Children are not adults – their growing minds and bodies, their digestion and practices make them interestingly powerless against the effects of dangerous synthetic concoctions discharged by PVC. Phthalates released by PVC products are found to be most concentrated in children ages 6 to 11. 

Healthy Child is a Healthy Future!!

Plastic is a wondrous material. It has helped in revolutionizing the whole concept of adaptability and flexibility. No one can ignore the economic benefits of this boon- turning into- bane material. PVC used in packing the food has a SAFER ALTERNATIVE- “Polyethylene wrapping films”. 

 

Packed food is a modern way of life that can’t be ignored and it is the easiest way through which the harmful plastic makes its way into the fragile human body.

Children that are the future of this planet are turning environmental conscious. They not only want to protect their sandwiches from getting staled but also their planet from getting chocked. 

Solution?

Yes, PE Plastic Wraps by Specialty Polyfilms. 

The idea is to Reduce, Recycle and Reduce. PE plastic films help in the circular economy where items are 100% recyclable, used less due to lower density and reused. 

What Can You Do?

You can take steps to create our planet green again, and at the same time help the children to have a healthier future.

  • Educate yourself: Know about the alternatives
  • Educate Others: Pass on the knowledge, and encourage the use of safer plastics.
  • Create demand: Availability increases and prices come down when consumers create demand.
Go PVC-free!

Like the Stone Age and Iron Age, we are living in the Plastic Age. Alongside a solution to the existing plastic problems, a new plastic future is also required. Switching to Safer Plastics is the first step towards it. In the grand scheme of things, these steps are quite minuscule, and some might term them frivolous. But if we keep sitting and waiting (and writing) for the ‘big’ change, it’s highly unlikely to come out of nowhere. 

We can’t just stop using plastic altogether.

The future of plastic lies not in its complete demise but its reinvention and better use.

Use PVC Replacement packaging

Use Recyclable wrapping films

Use Specialty Polyfilms’ products
