Products made from organohalogen compounds should be avoided due to numerous ecological disadvantages during the production cycle as well as for disposal and recycling. A position paper by the City of Vienna on this issue (particularly regarding PVC) is available at http://www.oekokauf.wien.at (in German).
The maximum admissible content of organohalogen compounds in plastic building materials and building chemicals*) is 3% by weight.
*) except coatings, for which separate criteria have been laid down.
