About VinylPlus® Product Label Certification  

The VinylPlus® Product Label is a voluntary sustainability labelling scheme for PVC products. Developed by VinylPlus in partnership with BRE Global and The Natural Step, it focuses on PVC applications for the building and construction sector. 

The primary objective is to help companies to produce and to place on the market increasingly sustainable PVC products, ensuring that the company's performance and the component materials used in the products meet sustainability criteria. It is also a reference for compliance with the Minimum Environmental Criteria defined within Green Public Procurement.
