GreenVin Bio-attributed PVC

GreenVin bio-attributed PVC is produced with renewable energy (under European Guarantees of Origin) and renewable ethylene. The renewable ethylene is derived from bio-naphtha. GreenVin bio-attributed PVC is both ISCC PLUS and REDcert2 certified, using the mass balance approach. Bio-attributed GreenVin PVC is approximately 90%* less carbon intensive compared to conventionally produced Westlake PVC. Westlake also produces lower carbon GreenVin PVC and GreenVin caustic soda produced with certified 100% renewable energy under European Guarantees of Origin. GreenVin PVC is already being used in various PVC application areas, such as the automotive, window manufacturing, and pharmaceutical packaging sectors. GreenVin caustic soda is approximately 30% less carbon intensive compared to conventionally produced Westlake caustic soda. Caustic soda is used to produce detergents, cardboard, pharmaceuticals, water treatment, and many other key products.

*Based on a cradle-to-gate product carbon footprint study by Sustainable AG, tested by TÜV Rheinland, in accordance with the ISO 14067 standard, taking biogenic CO2 fixations into account.
