Arlon Graphics relies on lower-carbon Vinnolit GreenVin PVC for film production

• Arlon Graphics, a global leader in the graphics films industry, will use Vinnolit GreenVin® PVC with a lower carbon footprint in the future.
• Produced with renewable power, the carbon-dioxide savings of GreenVin® PVC are about 25% compared to conventionally produced Vinnolit PVC.

Arlon Graphics, LLC, a subsidiary of FLEXcon Holdings Trust, have partnered with Westlake Vinnolit to advance their sustainability contributions by expanding GreenVin® PVC resin to Arlon’s product portfolio. Arlon is a global leader in the graphics films industry, and a key part of their strategy is a commitment to furthering sustainability and climate protection. Now, the company will utilize Vinnolit GreenVin® PVC resin, a component used in the production of graphic films for automotive and vehicle fleet wraps. GreenVin® PVC is manufactured with power from 100% renewable sources, based on high-quality renewable energy certificates (Guarantees of Origin / GOs), supporting climate protection and the reduction of CO₂ emissions. Depending on the PVC type, the carbon-dioxide savings of GreenVin® PVC are about 25% compared to conventionally produced Vinnolit PVC. The respective carbon footprint for the entire Vinnolit product portfolio was calculated by Sustainable AG in accordance with the ISO 14067 standard. Review and certification are carried out by TÜV Rheinland.

“Arlon’s selection of GreenVin® PVC is driven by our own commitment to provide `greener‘ solutions and by our customers’ demands for environmentally responsible products. We continue to explore innovative ways to incorporate sustainable materials into our offerings and to reduce our carbon footprint. GreenVin® allows us to do this all while maintaining the performance and quality our customers have come to expect from Arlon,” says Adam Bratter, Vice President of Global Product for Arlon.

“With GreenVin®, we are working to make the entire Westlake Vinnolit product portfolio more environmentally friendly and sustainable,” Dr. Karl-Martin Schellerer, Managing Director of Westlake Vinnolit, added. “Technical properties and highest product quality of our PVC grades remain unchanged. At the same time, we help environmentally conscious companies and thought leaders in their field reduce their own carbon footprint and that of their products.”
