California recently enacted a statute banning PVC primary components in certain products due to PVC exposure to consumers and purchasers presenting an unreasonable public health risk. California's statutory PVC ban is consistent with:

• SMaRT's prerequisite banning toxic Stockholm Treaty Chemicals including dioxin emitted during PVC production, and The Thornton PVC LCA introduced at the US Green Building Council's LEED CI PVC Charrette documenting substantial adverse impacts of PVC to public health and environment over the global supply chain.

• The Vinyl Institute participated in the LEED CI PVC Charrette and declined to rebut the substance of this Thornton LCA.
