Who Should Use PVC-Free Wallpaper? May 8,2021

Vinyl is one of the most popular wallpaper materials, as it is very durable, affordable and washable. However there is one big but and it is the composition of the material. Vinyl is, in very simple words, made of backing layer - paper or fibre, and a plastic upper coating. The upper coating is what makes it toxic and extremely environmentally unfriendly. "According to the Center for Health, Environment & Justice (CHEJ), PVC plastic is one of the most hazardous consumer products ever created. PVC is dangerous to human health and the environment throughout its entire life cycle, at the factory, in our homes, and in the trash." What this means is that at every stage of this materials life, harmful toxins are released into the air we breathe and leaves, at first maybe unnoticeable, but negative impact to our health. For example, in the EU, it is prohibited to use vinyl is toys, that are meant for children under the age of 3 years. I trust this brief overview of vinyl shows that it is something we should avoid to use when decorating our homes, where we and our loved ones spend so much time.

PVC-Free wall murals are more expensive than standard wall murals because they’re made with higher quality material that is reflected in the price. So if you’re an extremely cost-conscious organization, then despite the environmental benefits, PVC-Free may not be the best option for you at this point in time while you’re stretching the budget.

However, if you are in a more sensitive environment or want to become a green company, then non-woven wallpaper is a good choice for you. Ideal for areas with children, the elderly and medical care.
