As the
construction
industry shifts toward more sustainable practices, unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) is emerging as a key material in eco-friendly building solutions. Known for its
energy efficiency
,
recyclability
, and impressive durability, uPVC is rapidly becoming a preferred choice for modern construction.
At a recent industry forum, Avanish Singh Visen, an industry expert in sustainable construction, discussed the growing importance of uPVC in the
green
building sector. “uPVC’s excellent thermal insulation properties make it a standout material for energy efficiency, particularly in applications like windows and doors, where heat loss is a major concern,” Visen explained.
Visen also discussed key innovations within the uPVC manufacturing process that are helping address growing environmental concerns. “With the advent of energy-efficient extrusion technologies and advanced recycling systems, uPVC manufacturers are reducing carbon emissions during production and improving the material’s overall sustainability profile,” he noted.
However, Visen acknowledged that challenges remain in fully capitalizing on uPVC’s potential. “There is a need for greater education within the industry about the environmental benefits of uPVC, particularly in terms of its recyclability and energy-saving capabilities,” he said.
“The rise of big data analytics and advanced manufacturing technologies has significantly improved productivity, allowing the industry to be more responsive to market demands and environmental concerns,” he concluded.
