Page 2We’ve made a pledge ofour own:
No PVC. No Extra Cost.
Today’s market leaders areintegrating environmentallyfriendly products into theirsupply chains. They are partof a broader market trend inwhich Australian businesses are
increasingly incorporating safer, more sustainable
materials into their operations. They see environmentally preferred purchasing programs as not
only a competitive advantage, but also a win-win
situation for their customers and future generations.
PVC-Freemakes Sense.

Toxic chemicals associatedwith PVC disposal in landfills andincinerators have been linked to a wide range ofhealth hazards. When PVC is burned in incinerators,
landfill fires, backyard barrels, building fires, etc.,
dioxins and other toxic combustion by-products areformed and released into the air and in ashes.
Dioxins are among the most potent and long lasting

toxic chemicals ever tested.
Dioxins find their way into ourfood chain and our environment
and if ingested, inhaled or absorbed
in sufficient quantities can alter liverfunction, harm the immune and reproductive
systems and cause cancer.
One PVC bottle can render 100,000 recyclable
bottles unusable. Often PVC is not listed in products
and/or packaging—which can lead tocontaminating other recyclables.
Approximately 7 billion pounds of PVC®
products end up in the trash annually.
Businesses are phasing-out PVC.

More and more companies are taking a standagainst the use of PVC in their products and/orpackaging:“PVC, a material linked to a host of environmental
concerns, is everywhere—in our industry and in manyothers. And while PVC is not widely banned bylegislation, it is a material we voluntarily chose tophase-out from Nike brand products.”

Moldex and the“PVC-Free Pledge.”Like other corporations,
we’ve taken the “PVC-Free®
Pledge” to eliminate PVC fromour products and packaging.
Moldex has the only completeline of PVC-Free hearing and respiratory products.
Most Moldex products have always been PVC-Freeand now all Moldex products are PVC-Free.
All with absolutely nocompromise in quality andat no extra cost. So you canupgrade to PVC-Free for free.
And thats is an idea thatmakes sense and is good forbusiness. PVC-Free and Moldex, “Ideas thatWear Well.®”®
