There are many PVC material suppliers in South Africa, but not all are equal. Therefore, how can you truly know if the product you’re purchasing was sustainably and ethically made? Moreover, how can you assure it’s quality?
It is important that when you purchase your PVC, you ensure that your supplier is a member of the South African Vinyls Association (SAVA). This is crucial for several reasons:
What Is SAVA?
SAVA is a voluntary industry association that acts as a representative of the local PVC industry and the entire value chain associated with it. The SAVA aims to promote responsible and sustainable PVC production and supply while also supporting members of the industry to grow and protect their stature.
SAVA promotes the latest scientifically based manufacturing and usage technology and supports its members through research and lobbying where appropriate.
Quality Assurance
Members of industry bodies like SAVA will be kept abreast of the latest developments in terms of quality standards and new technologies affecting the PVC industry. Customers who buy from SAVA members can be better assured that their PVC meets the high-standard quality benchmarks in place to protect the industry’s reputation and ensure that customers are satisfied.
To be a member of SAVA means that you are associated with high-quality standards and world-class PVC production methodologies.
Environmental and Ethical Considerations
An organisation like SAVA focuses on keeping its members updated with the latest environmental standards and regulations surrounding plastics manufacturing and recycling.
In addition, the members are connected to SAVA’s extensive network of recyclers, thereby ensuring that they can not only source recycled material but can also point customers to recycling depots and ensure that the entire value chain is made as sustainable as possible.
By emphasising sustainable and responsible business practices, SAVA aims to ensure that the entire South African plastics and vinyl manufacturing industry is sustainable, responsible, ethical, and environmentally conscious.
We here at IPC are members of SAVA and, therefore, adhere to its codes of ethical and sustainable practice. As one of the premier PVC material suppliers in South Africa, we can also ensure the best quality for all of our clients.
