The good news is that the awareness of consumers, investors and manufacturers is growing, and the effects of their actions can be seen at almost every turn. An example of this is the joinery industry, which focuses on the production of environmentally friendly windows. How do PVC windows compare in this regard?
PVC windows and ecology - are plastic windows safe for health and the planet?
It is accepted that plastics are not environmentally friendly raw materials, since the decomposition process takes hundreds of years. There is also some concern that the polyvinyl chloride used years ago for plastic windows was enriched with an admixture of lead, which at the time acted as a stabilizer in window profiles, but was harmful to health and the environment. The good news, however, is that today in the production of windows this element is bound in the plastic so that it no longer exhibits adverse effects. This is confirmed by a certificate from the National Institute of Hygiene, which states that the windows in question meet strict production standards and do not endanger users in any way.
