Wei5,000 tonnes is a rounding error in a 48 Mt market, but the proof of concept is important. Bio-PVC commands 30-40% premiums that early adopters in green building will pay.

PriyaBio-PVC is chemically identical to fossil PVC — same Cl content, same processing, same performance. The carbon reduction comes entirely from the ethylene feedstock source.

California Proposition 65 Enforcement Targets Phthalates in Vinyl FlooringCalifornia OEHHA increased enforcement of Proposition 65 warnings for vinyl flooring containing DEHP and DINP phthalate plasticizers, with settlements totaling USD 12 million against 8 flooring importers in 2025.score 72
PriyaEvery major flooring brand has reformulated for the US market. The holdouts are private-label importers cutting corners on plasticizer specs.
