Vinyl chloride, used to make #PVC plastic, is a cancer-causing chemical that has had devastating effects on communities across the U.S. In 2023, it was burned in the Ohio rail disaster, leaving a wake of health impacts across communities and states that are still being felt today. But retailers like @HomeDepot continue to sell PVC in products like flooring, siding, and packaging, putting more communities at risk across the U.S. As the world’s largest home improvement retailer, The Home Depot can help transform the marketplace away from this toxic plastic and towards safer solutions. 🛠️ Tell @HomeDepot: Build a safer future and ban this #PoisonPlastic! Research has found that the rail shipment of vinyl chloride to make #PVC plastic puts more than three million people at risk, including communities from Texas to New Jersey. And #vinylchloride factories produce billions of pounds of vinyl chloride to make #PVC plastics, often in low-income communities and communities of color. It’s time for @HomeDepot to lead the building industry away from this dangerous chemical & poison plastic!
