Kavalan

Kavalan is a recyclable, PVC-free banner material.

VGL is replacing all traditional banner material for Kavalan because of its environmental properties, which deliver the same high standard visual and functional specification, without compromising on quality, strength or fire ratings.

As well as performing in concert with all standard PVC banner material safety, fire and eco certifications, Kavalan is 50% lighter, making it easier to handle and reduces transport costs and carbon emissions – an additional green benefit.

No Landfill and Environmentally-friendly

Kavalan does not add to landfill and therefore reduces the impact of end-of-life disposal.

VGL has joined forces with industry waste disposal specialist Howe to Recycle, which has developed a traceable, closed-loop recycling service to facilitate waste recycling. At VGL we also offer the option for clients to return their product to us, if direct recovery is not suitable. In the unforeseen circumstances that Kavalan does accidentally end up in landfill, its non-polluting, water–based and biodegradable coating will easily decompose.

Kavalan can also be green-incinerated to generate electricity - an additional benefit to many other ‘recycled’ products, which can't follow this process. Kavalan ash is also a useful product for road maintenance, whereas other recycled products have to go to landfill.
