INDUSTRY HIGHLIGHTS
WORKING HARD FOR CANADA
VINYL IS IMPORTANT TO OUR FUTURE
OUR ECONOMY
Our economy is impacted by the businesses we operate in Canada, but is significantly affected by global economies too. It is vital that our domestic economy be able to rely on stable industries in order to contribute to a robust economy. The vinyl industry is one of the strongest and most stable manufacturing sectors in our country, and contributes thousands of jobs from coast to coast; helping to support Canada’s economic growth.
OUR ENVIRONMENT
There can be no true success without supporting our environment; it’s current and future needs. The Canadian Vinyl industry works with government to ensure that environmental standards are met, and are a priority.

OUR RESPONSIBILITY
Future generations are predicated on what we do today. Economies and environments cannot be sustained without everyone taking responsibility. The Canadian Vinyl industry is dedicated to responsible manufacturing and creating product longevity, contrary to today’s “disposable mentality” mindset. Vinyl products are designed to last into future generations, while honoring today’s carbon footprint reduction goals.
