Pyramid of Plastics
Author: Emukidz
The ranking on the pyramid focuses on the toxic characteristics of the potential alternative materials. It provides a qualitative ranking based on environmental and health problems of PVC, addressing the production, additives, product emissions during use, disposal and recycling. It does not include raw materials and energy inputs and therefore does not address all criteria of a life cycle analysis. The pyramid provides guidance for interim steps on the route to clean production. Keep in mind, no petroleum-based plastic is sustainable as we move to a materials economy based on appropriateness, renewability and efficiency.
