PVC organisations collaborate to promote the value of PVC use in healthcare
31/10/2012A recent critical review commissioned by the European Council of Vinyl Manufacturers (ECVM), contests a life-cycle assessment (LCA) carried out by the PVCfreeBloodBag project, which concluded that PVC blood bags “pose a significant risk to human health” and should be phased out in favour of PVC-free alternatives. The critical review finds that the PVCfreeBloodBag study fails to fulfill basic scientific methodology and quality criteria; and that its conclusions may be misleading and highly questionable.
