#8 - Going PVC Free while Growing Sustainably. A discussion with Mark Chen, Kavalan

In this episode of the FuturePrint podcast, Marcus Timson talks to Mark Chen, Research Analyst at Taya Groups, manufacturer of the Kavalan range of PVC-free banner materials. Marcus and Mark discuss the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) process carried out on Kavalan materials, the outcome of the assessment, and the valuable data LCAs provide.

In this episode, Marcus and Mark also talk about the Kavalan Eco Calculator, a useful tool in visualising how Kavalan materials measure up to their PVC counterparts, and demonstrating the eco-savings wide-format businesses can make by switching to Kavalan, as well as offering insight into Kavalan’s goals and future focus.
