When you start looking at some of the most useful plastics in the world, PVC is very high on that list. Many industries rely on PVC for their products and other uses. From construction to medical devices to curtains, PVC sees use in all sorts of products important for daily life. Here’s a look at some important information about PVC plastic.
Accessible and Affordable
When it comes to mass production, the cost and ease of sourcing are very important. PVC is a common plastic because it’s so easy to get, with many manufacturing plants across the world. PVC is made from chlorine, which is a cheap and readily available material. Its affordability makes PVC very desirable when making a lot of a product.
Chemical Resistance
PVC is resistant to many chemicals and alkalis, which makes it perfect for tanks and containers for chemical storage. While PVC containers can’t hold every kind of chemical out there, many containers use PVC because it’s resistant to a lot of the common chemicals people use in both daily life and industrial processes.
Durable and Dense
PVC is a very dense plastic, which means you can make it quite thin and still get a lot of strength and durability out of it. It’s also resistant to impact deformation, so it can retain its shape better than a lot of other materials. That’s why it can be so useful in a wide range of industries.
Versatile Material
PVC comes in many forms, making it perfect for just about anything you need. Hard PVC is great for durable products that need protection and support, and flexible PVC is great for cable coverings or boots.
When it comes to PVC plastic and its uses across the world, this is what you need to know. Most industries can and do use PVC in some capacity, as it’s highly efficient in production and affordable. That’s why PVC is one of the most popular plastic materials in the world.a

United Nations Video: Gaza: "Level of suffering and brutality is unbearable" - Briefing to the UN Security Council
Briefing by Khaled Khiari, Assistant Secretary-General for the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific, on the situation in the Middle East, including the Palestinian question.
Assistant Secretary-General Khaled Khiari today (30 Jun) told the Security Council that “the level of suffering and brutality in Gaza is unbearable,” and “the continued collective punishment of the Palestinian people is unjustifiable.”
Khiari expressed deep concern at “Israeli military operations in Gaza that render large areas of Gaza uninhabitable,” and rejected “the forced displacement of the Palestinian population from any part of the Occupied Palestinian Territory, which would constitute a breach of international law obligations.”
He mourned the United Nations personnel killed in Gaza and “strongly” condemned “the killing of all health and humanitarian personnel and journalists.”
Khiari also condemned “the loss of lives and injuries of Palestinians seeking aid in Gaza” and called for “an immediate and independent investigation into these events and for perpetrators to be held accountable.”
He stressed that the United Nations “will not participate in any aid delivery modality that does not comply with the fundamental humanitarian principles of humanity, impartiality, independence, and neutrality.”

United Nations Video: Launch of the Sevilla Platform for Action - UN Chief remarks | #FFD4 | United Nations
Remarks by António Guterres, Secretary-General of the United Nations, at the Launch of the Sevilla Platform for Action - 4th International Conference on Financing for Development FFD4 (Sevilla, Spain).
"Mr. President of the Government of Spain, dear Pedro Sánchez,
Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
Thank you for joining this launch of the Sevilla Platform for Action.
Respected President of the Government of Spain — I commend you and your government for your vision and leadership as hosts of the Fourth International Conference on Financing for Development.
We are all here to respond to a global development crisis that threatens people and planet alike.
Our roadmap to a better future — the Sustainable Development Goals — is in danger.
Two-thirds of the targets are not progressing fast enough — or at all.
Solutions depend on financing.
Developing countries need over $4 trillion a year to deliver on the 2030 Agenda.
But they are being battered by limited fiscal space, slowing growth, crushing debt burdens and growing systemic risks.
The Sevilla Commitment document represents a bold plan to get the engine of development revving again:
Through new domestic and global commitments that can channel public and private finance to the areas of greatest need…
By overhauling the world’s approach to debt to make borrowing work in service of sustainable development…
And by reforming the global financial architecture to reflect today’s realities and the urgent needs of developing countries.
But we need all hands on deck.
And that’s why the Sevilla Platform for Action is so critical — and so significant.
In the midst of a world of division, conflict and economic uncertainty, this Platform contains more than 130 specific initiatives that demonstrate what we can achieve by working together.
Governments, private sector partners, international institutions, and civil society groups all together are teaming up to launch high-impact initiatives to bring the Sevilla Commitment to life.
This includes a global hub for debt swaps at the World Bank as part of a broader facility aimed at relieving liquidity constraints and lowering the cost of borrowing.
A debt pause alliance to help countries in times of crisis.
A global coalition to scale-up pre-arranged finance that can be readily deployed when disasters strike.
A blended finance platform to bring public and private finance together in a new and expanded way.
A new tool for Multilateral Development Banks to manage currency risks.
And a commission to explore the future of development cooperation.
In December, I appointed a group of experts on debt who today are announcing 11 immediately actionable proposals to help resolve the debt crisis.
This includes the commitment to establish a borrowers forum for countries to learn from one another and coordinate their approaches in debt management and restructuring.
I look forward to working closely with Member States — including the G20 — to bring this forum to life, to empower borrower countries, and create a fairer system.
Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen,
The Sevilla Platform for Action offers an ambitious, action-oriented response to the global financing challenge.
It provides a springboard toward a more just, inclusive, and sustainable world for all countries.
And above all, it proves that progress and change are possible if we work together.
I hope the Platform inspires countries to work as one to tackle other challenges facing our world today.
Once again, I thank Prime Minister Sánchez and all of you for your leadership.
Thank you".

CNN Video: Victim's family blasts plea deal: 'This is not justice'
The grieving family of 21-year-old Kaylee Goncalves had to wait over a month before a suspect in her 2022 killing was arrested. Since then, they and the families of three other University of Idaho students killed at the same time have been forced to endure an agonizingly slow legal process, punctuated by delay after delay.
Now, a month before the suspect’s murder trial was finally set to begin, the families’ long wait for justice is poised to end in what one Goncalves family member calls a “shocking and cruel” plea deal – that removes the possibility of the death penalty.
“After more than two years, this is how it concludes — with a secretive deal and a hurried effort to close the case without any input from the victims’ families on the plea’s details,” the Goncalves family said in a statement shared with CNN. #CNN #News

Nearly 20,000 people arrived in the UK in the first half of this year by crossing the English Channel in small boats - up 48% on the first six months of 2024.
Just under 1,500 people have crossed since Sunday, taking the total until the end of June to 19,982, according to latest Home Office figures.
The Conservatives said the government "broken a new national record - for failure".
Ministers have previously pointed to clear weather and the willingness of people smugglers to put more people onto boats as factors driving the spike in migration crossings.

ODN Video: Serbian Police Disperse Protesters and Tear Down Barricades in Belgrade
Serbian police have begun removing street blockades in Belgrade after crowds used metal fences and garbage containers to barricade roads on Sunday evening.
Their anger was fuelled by the arrest of anti-government protesters who clashed with police at a massive rally over the weekend.
Footage shared online appears to show police cars driving at high speed through a blockade on one street in the capital, causing bystanders to flee in panic.
Demonstrations, mainly led by university students, have persisted for eight months.
They were initially sparked by the fatal collapse of a train station roof in Novi Sad last November, which killed 16 people.

ODN Video: Serbian Protesters Clash With Police in HUGE Anti-Government Protest
This was what the streets of Serbia’s capital, Belgrade, looked like on Saturday, as protestors clashed with riot police as they dissented against the government.
Here's what we know so far:
On Saturday, around 140,000 protestors gathered as part of one of the largest of recent student-led demonstrations against the populist government.
The demonstrations centered around demanding an early election and an end to President Aleksander Vucic’s 12 year rule. His second term is currently due to end in 2027, when parliamentary elections have been scheduled.
Ahead of the protest, organizers issued an ultimatum for Vucic to announce elections, which he declined.
The key details:
Protestors clashed with police who fired tear gas and detained Several dozens of protestors. At least six officers were also reported injured.
This comes after 5 people were detained on Friday, who according to a statement from Serbia’s Higher Court, were accused of plotting to overthrow the government.
Here's the context:
The protests on Saturday come after almost 8 months of persistent dissent led by university students.
Demonstrations started last December, following the deaths of 16 people on the 1st of November, in the collapse of Novi Sad railway station’s roof - which protestors blamed on corruption and negligence in state infrastructure projects.
The backlash to the incident forced the former Prime Minister, Milos Vucevic, to resign earlier this year, but President Aleksander Vucic still remains in power.
The reaction:
As the protest ended, organizers played a statement to the crowd, urging Serbians to "take freedom into your own hands".
They claimed that “The authorities had all the mechanisms and all the time to meet the demands and prevent an escalation” but “Instead, they chose violence and repression against the citizens. Any radicalisation of the situation is their responsibility.”
President Vucic accused the protestors of wanting to topple Serbia, and he hit back at them today in a News conference, claiming that ”Serbia won. You cannot destroy Serbia with violence as some wanted. Serbia has not and Serbia will never stop.” He also praised the Serbian police force for their professionalism.

Bob Vylan’s Glastonbury performance has dominated headlines and sparked a huge debate. The punk duo chanted “death to the IDF” to a live crowd of thousands, and millions more watched at home, as their set aired live on the BBC.
[Subscribe: https://bit.ly/C4_News_Subscribe]
The backlash was swift - some called it a bold act of protest, while others condemned it as deeply offensive and antisemitic. On-screen warnings issued by the BBC about discriminatory language were deemed “not good enough”, and both the festival and the BBC have since condemned the performance, issuing public apologies.
In this episode of The Fourcast, Matt Frei is joined by journalist and founder of the Free Speech Union Lord Toby Young, and political activist Ash Sarkar - who was at the performance - to unpack the controversy. They discuss the reaction to Bob Vylan’s set, the BBC’s decision to broadcast it, and what this means for free speech and creative freedom in today’s media landscape.
This episode of The Fourcast contains language that some may find offensive.
