Why is the silicone shower hose more environmentally friendly than the EPDM shower hose?
Here is a list of reasons why silicone hoses for showerheads are more environmentally friendly than PVC hoses:
1. Material safety: - Silicone is a non-toxic, odorless, non-irritating material that is harmless to human health. - PVC may release harmful chemicals such as vinyl chloride during production and use.
2. Degradability: - Silicone is relatively easy to decompose in the natural environment and will not remain for a long time to cause environmental pollution. - PVC is difficult to degrade naturally and is prone to long-term environmental pollution.
3. Production process: - The production process of silicone hoses usually produces fewer pollutants. - The production of PVC hoses often requires the use of a large amount of chemical additives, and the pollution during the production process is relatively large.
4. Recycling: - Silicone hoses are easier to recycle and reuse. - PVC hoses are more difficult to recycle, and secondary pollution may be generated during the recycling process.
5. Durability and replacement frequency: - Silicone hoses have better durability and longer service life, reducing the waste of resources caused by frequent replacement. - PVC hoses may be more easily damaged and need to be replaced more frequently, thereby increasing the generation of waste.
