Sustainability（flexible PVC）:

Social Sustainability

① Strong flexibility: Soft products made of PVC material have a relatively soft surface. When used as children's toys, they are less likely to hurt children. When used in the medical field, they can significantly reduce the risk of scratches, which is in line with the third point of the Sustainable Development Goal - health and well-being^[1].

② Certification and Standards: Enhance the environmental image of products by obtaining environmental certifications such as the Green Product Mark. Comply with relevant environmental protection regulations and standards, ensuring that the production and usage processes involve as few substances harmful to the environment and human health as possible.

Economic Sustainability

① Selection of Raw Materials: PVC has good transparency, allowing medical personnel to clearly observe the flow of liquid and the status of drugs during the infusion process. For the production of the infusion bag, PVC has good processing properties and can be used to produce infusion bags of various shapes and sizes through processes such as thermoforming and injection molding.

② Good chemical corrosion resistance: Medical supplies made of PVC material can not only be used relatively well even when exposed to corrosive chemical products, but also protect the user from being corroded by dangerous goods. In line with the sixth of the 17 sustainable Development Goals, keep clean^[2].

③ Lower cost: Soft toys and medical supplies made of PVC materials have a very low cost. This enables developing countries to have access to advanced medical facilities, and children in poor areas can also have many toys to play with. In line with the first of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, eradicating poverty^[3].

Environmental Sustainability

① Production process: The production process of PVC is an addition polymerization reaction, which maximizes the efficiency of resource utilization through the efficient use of the raw materials chlorine and ethylene.

② High recyclability: The PVC material-made yellow duck toys and car interiors both have a very high recycling rate. This not only saves resources but also enables economic circular development. The 12th circular economy in line with the 17 sustainable development goals.
