[[wikipedia:Polyvinyl chloride|Polyvinyl Chloride]] ([[PVC (3)]]) is one of the most widely used polymers in the world. Due to its versatile nature, [[PVC (3)]] is used extensively across a broad range of industrial, technical and everyday applications including widespread use in building, transport, packaging, electrical/electronic and healthcare applications<ref name="BFP">[https://www.bpf.co.uk/plastipedia/polymers/pvc.aspx/ British Plastics Federation]</ref>.

The first patent for a polymerisation process to manufacture PVC was granted to German inventor Friedrich Klatte in 1913 and PVC has been in commercial production since 1933. The material now accounts for about 20% of all plastic manufactured world-wide, second only to [[Wikipedia:Polyethylene|polyethlene]] ([[PET (1)]])<ref name="BFP" />.
