"Insights into PVC Product Lifespan: Understanding the Lifecycle of PVC Products and Its Environmental Impact" By Athalia Salsabila Budiyanto The lifetime of a PVC product is defined as the period where it maintains its functionality and structural integrity (Makris, et al., 2019). This lifetime encompasses not only the physical integrity of the material but also its performance characteristics such as mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and color fastness under normal operating conditions. This lifetime varies, ending when the product can no longer serve its intended function, ranging from a few years for disposable items to decades for construction materials such as pipes, window frames, etc. In general, the longevity of PVC products is affected by various factors including exposure to heat, ozone, oxygen, UV radiation, light radiation, chemical substances, and water vapor (Plota & Masek, 2020). Given its widespread utilization over recent decades, PVC has emerged as the primary construction material. Consequently, significant determinants influencing PVC products, particularly pipes and fittings, encompass material degradation, pronounced defects, and an unforeseen acceleration in degradation rates (Makris, et al., 2019). Studies indicate that the lifespan of particularly piping systems, is typically extensive, often exceeding 100 years under normal operating conditions. This durability is largely due to PVC's inherent resistance to corrosion, chemical stability, and its ability to withstand various environmental factors when properly installed and maintained (IPEX, 2022). In Indonesia, the PVC market is influenced by regional trends in the Asia-Pacific area, focusing on reducing the environmental footprint of plastics, including PVC. Innovations in product design and recycling technologies are strategically adopted to extend the useful life of PVC products as its extended lifespan plays a crucial role in environmental sustainability. Initiatives in Indonesia and other parts of the Asia-Pacific region highlight the shift towards more sustainable practices in managing the lifecycle of PVC products. Efforts to minimize the amount of PVC reaching final disposal are crucial for environmental protection. This includes improving recycling processes and developing new formulations of PVC that are easier to recycle. Such practices not only help in conserving resources but also in reducing landfill waste, contributing to overall environmental health. By extending the product lifetime through better design, usage, and recycling, the dependency on raw materials can be reduced, and the lifecycle environmental impact of PVC products can be minimized.  #PVCProducts #PVCLifespan

"Unveiling the PVC Production Process: Insights from Indonesia’s Industry" By: Fortuna Dewi Discover the fascinating world of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) production, a cornerstone of the global materials market, with a spotlight on Indonesia's significant contributions. PVC production starts with the synthesis of two key materials: ethylene, a colorless gas from petroleum or natural gas, and chlorine from saltwater electrolysis. These substances undergo a reaction to produce ethylene dichloride, the precursor to the critical compound vinyl chloride monomer (VCM).   The transformation of ethylene dichloride through a process called 'cracking' results in VCM and hydrochloric acid. VCM then undergoes polymerization, linking molecules together to form PVC resin, a fine white powder that is the basis for all PVC products. This stage is pivotal as it sets the foundation for the versatile applications of PVC. In the subsequent manufacturing phase, PVC resin is customized with additives such as plasticizers for flexibility, stabilizers for resistance to heat and UV, and lubricants to suit specific product needs. This tailored mix is then molded into various products through processes like extrusion and molding, creating everything from construction materials to everyday consumer goods. Indonesia has played a crucial role in the PVC industry since 1976, continuously enhancing production techniques like suspension and bulk polymerization to improve product quality and environmental sustainability. The nation's industry not only serves local demands but also contributes significantly to the global market, especially in the construction sector.  As the industry progresses, the focus on sustainability intensifies, highlighting the importance of advancements in recycling technologies and waste management practices. This shift towards sustainable manufacturing is crucial for minimizing environmental impacts and promoting a circular economy. Join the conversation on the future of PVC production and its role in sustainable manufacturing. Your insights are vital as we explore these complex challenges and opportunities in the industry. #PVCProduction #Sustainability #CircularEconomy

"Exploring PVC: What is PVC, Characteristics, PVC Products and Wide-Range Applications" By: Chakila Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) was first made 'unintentionally' in 1872 by German chemist Eugen Baumann. He exposed vinyl chloride gas sealed in a tube to sunlight and produced a white solid called PVC. PVC is known as “Vinyl” or “Polyvinyl Chloride” with the chemical formula C2H3Cl is an economical and versatile thermoplastic polymer. More than 75% of the total PVC is used in industrial applications and especially the building and construction sector where PVC products have long life span of over 10-years (Plepiene et al., 2021). PVC resin is produced in powder form, which is resistant to oxidation and degradation, allowing for a long storage period. Various additives and pigments are then added to the powder during the processing stage, producing a blend that is converted into various PVC products. Two common forms of PVC rigid and stabilizer PVC and plasticized PVC, each tailored to specific requirement and purposes. 1.⁠ ⁠Rigid PVC: Referred to as uPVC (unplasticized PVC) or RPVC (rigid PVC) and is made by polimerizing vinyl chloride monomers without the addition of plasticizers. It is commonly used in construction and industrial settings. 2.⁠ ⁠Plasticized PVC: Incorporates plasticizers into the PVC polymer matrix during production. It is commonly found in wires and cable applications. Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) is a versatile thermoplastic polymer renowned for its wide-ranging applications across industries. PVC has a long-life span, need low maintenance and a good electrical property so it is categorised as good insulation material. It is also resistant to weathering, chemical rotting, corrosion, shock, and abrasion, and resistant to all inorganic chemicals. However, it also has some limitations such as poor heat stability, properties can change with time, due to plasticizer migration, flexible PVC has lower chemical resistance than rigid PVC and for rigid PVC has low continuous service temperature of 50°C. Even though it has limitations, the advantages possessed by PVC have succeeded in making it used for various applications, from construction to healthcare. #DiscoverPVC #PVCProducts #PVCApplications

In the midst of global challenges related to plastic pollution, KIBUMI conducted a kick-off meeting for the project entitled "Revolutionizing Sustainable Waste Supply Chain in Indonesia: A Comprehensive Framework for Digitalization, Modernization, and Community Empowerment". This project is part of Plastic Smart City by WWF WWF Indonesia, with the vision of stopping the leakage of plastic waste into nature by 2030. In this forum, Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan reminds us that collaboration of multiple parties such as this project is necessary to provide the solution implementing EPR in Indonesia. Apart from that, Danone Aqua also conveys their long-journey implementation practices of being responsible in managing their post-consumer recyclables. At the end, CEO of KIBUMI also points out the necessity to include informal sector through integrated digital technologies as they play pivotal role in recycling effort. By empowering the informal sector in plastic waste collection and introducing integrated digital platform technology, this project has great potential to change the paradigm in the recycling supply chain. With the Jakarta Metropolitan Area as its focus, this project is expected to be a major driver in increasing plastic recycling as well as reducing significant environmental impacts. For those interested in the progress of the project, please keep in touch through our social media platform. Cheers! #extendedproducerresponsibility #wastemanagement #sustainability
