Overview of the material flows of PVC flooring as well as the substance flows of DEHP, DiNP, and DEHT in Switzerland. The waste flows are provided for different lifetime distributions (15log: log-normal distribution, mean = 15 years, 20log: log-normal distribution, mean = 20 years, 20wei: Weibull distribution, mean = 20 years, 30log: log-normal distribution, mean = 30 years). The substance flows are provided for the scenario with high market share and early phase-out of DEHP, with corresponding market share and no phase-out of DiNP, high market share of DEHT and low PVC flooring recycling rates in the past and future. The colored areas correspond to the mean flows plus/minus twice the standard deviation.
