Weighted average of emission factors for plastics: pvc (incl. forming) under different production methods based on estimated market share. Primary: 100%. Closed-loop: 0%. Re-used: 0%. Underlying source: UK Government - Greenhouse gas reporting: conversion factors 2025. This uses approximate market shares where data are available. Use the applicable underlying EF if you know the production method.

PVC - including forming (average source)

Emission intensity of pvc roofing membrane (thickness 0.0012m).

PVC roofing membrane (thickness 0.0012m)

Emission intensity of PVC (incl. forming - primary material production). The EF should be used to report on consumption of procured materials based on their origin (that is comprised of primary material or recycled materials). For primary materials these factors cover the extraction/primary processing/manufacturing and transportation materials to the point of sale not the materials in use. For secondary materials the factors cover sorting/processing/manufacturing and transportation to the point of sale not the materials in use.
