Demand is concen- trated in construction applications, primarily water transmission uses such as potable water, sewer and drainage pipe. Demand for PVC pipe in Germany is moderated by increasing environmental restrictions on PVC materials of all kinds. The disposal of PVC products in landfills was banned in 2005, and incineration is limited and regulated, so that PVC pipe use must be viewed with an eye toward its eventual recyclabil- ity. Over the last several decades, nearly 300 German municipalities have banned or restricted the use of PVC building products, including PVC pipe.
