Bio-Vinyl, not only policed by the International Sustainability & Cabon Certification (https://www.iscc-system.org/) but now certified as the LOWEST carbon footprint vinyl record material in the World!
With 47% less oil content with other traditional polymers, fully recyclable, extremely long life cycle, PVC is ready for the future!
Sustainability is a key theme in the vinyl world, and sound quality is just as important. That’s why our Bio-Vinyl Record Compounds have the same premium properties as our traditional Vinyl Record Compounds, but with fossil materials replaced by non-fossil materials, resulting in more than 90% carbon footprint reduction. Offering the best sustainable alternative.
A better world for tomorrow means leading the way and developing sustainable products. Therefore, Plastchem’s Bio-Vinyl is made from bio-ethylene, instead of ethylene coming from raw crude oil. Examples of bio-ethylene are used cooking oil and plant residues. The materials we use have no negative impact on the food chain.
The main ingredients for our Bio-Vinyl Record Compounds are made up from 43% ethylene and 57% chlorine from salt water, unlike other polymers that are 100% oil/fossil-derived.
The Bio-Vinyl is ISCC-plus certified, to demonstrate through an independent audit that our methods are as we claim. This ISCC certification ensures that the correct amount of certified bio-material is used throughout the supply chain, and can be tracked back with guaranteed transparent sourcing and ethical production. This means that our raw materials are produced in an ethical way and the 43% ethylene from fossil sources is properly replaced by bio-ethylene. In this way, we contribute to reducing our ecological footprint by more than 90%. For this reason alone, we are proud of this recognition as a sustainable and environmentally friendly producer.

Plastchem are committed to reducing our carbon footprint across all of our materials. Our standard Vinyl Record formulations are certified as the lowest carbon footprint in the marketplace across the world, with a standard reduction of 27% compared to other PVC compounds & a reduction of 66% in emissions compared to over polymers while using our standard PLRC compounds, which is certified at 2.003 kgCO2e/kg as shown in the graphic.
Bio-Vinyl by Plastchem reduces this carbon footprint even further, with a total reduction in kgCO2e/kg by 90% verses other PVC compounds on the market certified at 0.263 kgCO2e/kg being a reduction of 86% vs our own PLRC standard compounds.
Plastchem has always believed in progress. That, is why the step towards sustainability to contribute to a better world is logical for us.
Our motto, which all our people stand by, is: 'Today's problems are the solutions for tomorrow. This drives us to achieve results’. We work on new developments together, every day, and focus on the best solutions possible.

Quality means working together with our partners, to create a Bio-Vinyl Record Compound that runs smoothly and does not negatively impact time.
With the expertise of our technical experts and our automated process with dedicated production lines, we always achieve the best results. Every delivery meets the highest quality standards. Our compound creates the same Vinyl Record that has existed for over 75 years with the same crystal-clear sound quality.
What plays an increasingly significant role in all the quality we deliver, is contributing to a cleaner world. That’s why we work towards our goal of CO2-neutral operations daily.
Vinyl records have been around for over 75 years as an collector’s item. Great example of it’s lifecycle and consistent quality. Made to collect, keep and store, not any part of the waste streams we find nowadays in landfills or in the oceans.
Also our Bio-Vinyl is therefore an incredibly durable material, immune to corrosion or degradation over time. This means that Vinyl Record pressed from our material provide the best sound quality, do not degrade, and also contribute to reducing the carbon footprint.
A great advantage of Plastchem PVC compounds is that they are 100% recyclable and can be used again to make Vinyl Records. Looking for a cool colour? We can provide any desired colour or opacity.
Plastchem aims to become the world’s first CO2-neutral PVC compounder. In 2021 we have built a completely new factory, highly energy sufficient, fully automated with dedicated production lines to guarantee quality, flexibilty, and the most sustainable operations.
We also take steps with our energy sources. Our factory roof now has 3.684 solar panels and we are currently working on installing wind energy to reach our goal in the coming years.
International sustainability & carbon certification: We are proud to hold this certificate, recognizing us as a sustainable and environmentally friendly PVC producer that takes chain responsibility.
This certification confirms that we comply with the applicable international quality management systems. It ensures our commitment to consistent quality and customer satisfaction.
