为什么Hillbrush从PVC转向PET：一种更可持续、更高性能的选择

At Hillbrush, sustainability and performance go hand in hand. As part of our ongoing commitment to responsible manufacturing, we’re transitioning products within our Traditional range from PVC filament to PET.

在Hillbrush，可持续性和性能是齐头并进的。作为我们持续致力于负责任制造的一部分，我们正在将传统范围内的产品从PVC长丝过渡到PET。

PVC presents long-term environmental challenges — it’s difficult to recycle, can persist in landfill for centuries, and may release harmful chemicals during disposal. PET, on the other hand, offers a more sustainable and future-ready alternative.

PVC带来了长期的环境挑战——它很难回收，可以在垃圾填埋场持续几个世纪，在处置过程中可能会释放有害化学物质。另一方面，PET提供了一种更可持续和面向未来的替代品。

Many PET filaments are made from recycled plastic bottles and are widely recyclable at end of life, supporting a more circular material lifecycle. Just as importantly, PET delivers equal or improved performance: greater durability, better resistance to chemicals and moisture, and stronger performance at higher temperatures.

许多PET长丝由可回收塑料瓶制成，在寿命结束时可广泛回收，支持更循环的材料生命周期。同样重要的是，PET具有相同或更好的性能：更高的耐用性、更好的耐化学性和防潮性，以及在更高温度下更强的性能。

Most of our PVC-filament products have already transitioned to PET, with the remaining items changing as existing stock is responsibly used.

我们的大多数PVC长丝产品已经过渡到PET，随着现有库存的负责任使用，其余产品也发生了变化。

By choosing PET, we’re ensuring our Traditional range continues to deliver the quality Hillbrush is known for — while better meeting modern sustainability expectations.

通过选择PET，我们可以确保我们的传统系列继续提供Hillbrush所熟知的质量，同时更好地满足现代可持续发展的期望。

At Hillbrush, we are continually reviewing the materials used across our product ranges to ensure they deliver exceptional performance while supporting a more sustainable future. As part of this commitment, we have been transitioning products that previously used PVC filament - particularly within our Traditional range - over to PET filament.

在Hillbrush，我们不断审查我们产品系列中使用的材料，以确保它们在支持更可持续的未来的同时提供卓越的性能。作为这一承诺的一部分，我们一直在将以前使用PVC长丝的产品（特别是在我们的传统系列中）过渡到PET长丝。

This change not only brings meaningful environmental benefits but also offers improved performance, making PET a better material choice overall.

这一变化不仅带来了有意义的环境效益，而且提高了性能，使PET成为整体上更好的材料选择。

Why Are We Phasing Out PVC?

我们为什么要逐步淘汰PVC？

PVC has served many industries for years, but it presents several environmental challenges:

PVC多年来一直服务于许多行业，但它带来了几个环境挑战：

1. It Takes Centuries to Decompose其分解需要几个世纪

PVC can persist in the environment for hundreds of years, creating long-term waste issues.

PVC可以在环境中持续存在数百年，造成长期的污染问题。

2. There are Potential Release of Harmful Chemical有可能释放有害化学物质

During production, use, and disposal—especially incineration—PVC can release chemicals that negatively impact ecosystems.

在生产、使用和处置过程中，尤其是焚烧过程中，PVC会释放出对生态系统产生负面影响的化学物质。

3. It is Difficult to Recycle很难回收

PVC is one of the least recycled plastics due to the complex process required to reprocess it. Most recycling facilities avoid it entirely, meaning it generally ends up in landfill.

由于再加工过程复杂，PVC是回收利用最少的塑料之一。大多数回收设施完全避免使用它，这意味着它通常会被填埋。

Because of these limitations, PVC is no longer aligned with Hillbrush’s sustainability goals or with modern expectations for responsible manufacturing.

由于这些限制，PVC不再符合Hillbrush的可持续发展目标或对负责任制造的现代期望。

Why PET Is the Better Choice — Environmentally and Functionally

为什么PET是更好的选择——环境和功能

Our Traditional range holds an important place in Hillbrush’s heritage, and improving its sustainability is a key priority. PET allows us to enhance the range without compromising its familiar feel or exceptional quality.

我们的传统系列产品在Hillbrush的传承中占有重要地位，提高其可持续性是一个关键的优先事项。PET使我们能够在不损害其熟悉感或卓越品质的情况下扩大产品范围。

1. PET Comes From Recycled Sources PET来自回收材料

A significant proportion of PET comes from recycled plastic bottles, giving new purpose to what would otherwise be waste.

很大一部分PET来自回收的塑料瓶，为原本会被浪费的东西赋予了新的用途。

2. PET Is Widely Recyclable After Use PET使用后可广泛回收

Unlike PVC, PET has an established global recycling stream.

与PVC不同，PET有一个既定的全球回收流程。

Once products reach the end of their life, PET can be recycled again, supporting a more circular and responsible material lifecycle.

一旦产品达到其使用寿命的终点，PET可以再次回收，支持更循环和负责任的材料生命周期。

3. Stronger and More Durable Than PVC比PVC更坚固耐用

PET offers increased rigidity and resilience compared to PVC.

与PVC相比，PET具有更高的刚性和弹性。

For brushes and similar products within the Traditional range, this means filaments that maintain shape better and provide more consistent performance.

对于传统系列中的刷子和类似产品，这意味着长丝可以更好地保持形状并提供更一致的性能。

4. Superior Chemical and Moisture Resistance优异的耐化学性和防潮性

PET performs exceptionally well when exposed to moisture, oils, fats, and cleaning agents.

This ensures long-lasting performance and reliability in both wet and dry conditions.

当暴露在水分、油、脂肪和清洁剂中时，PET的性能非常好。这确保了在潮湿和干燥条件下的持久性能和可靠性。

5. Better Temperature Performance更好的温度性能

PET withstands higher temperatures more effectively than PVC, making it more suitable for environments that use hot water or heat-based cleaning processes.

PET比PVC更有效地承受更高的温度，使其更适合使用热水或基于热量的清洁工艺的环境。

6. Cleaner, Safer Composition更清洁、更安全的成分

PET avoids many of the chemicals found in PVC, contributing to safer, cleaner, and more responsible product production.

PET避免了PVC中的许多化学物质，有助于更安全、更清洁、更负责任的产品生产。

The result

结果

PET is not just more sustainable—it delivers equal or improved performance, ensuring that customers enjoy the same Hillbrush quality they expect, with the added benefit of a more environmentally responsible material.

PET不仅更具可持续性，而且具有同等或更高的性能，确保客户享有他们所期望的Hillbrush质量，并具有更环保的材料的额外好处。

Where We Are in the Transition

我们在转型中的位置

We have already converted the vast majority of our former PVC-filament products to PET.

我们已经将绝大多数以前的PVC长丝产品转换为PET。

A small number of items still use PVC temporarily while we responsibly use up existing stock to avoid unnecessary waste. These items will transition fully as stock depletes.

少数商品仍暂时使用PVC，而我们负责任地使用现有库存，以避免不必要的浪费。随着库存的减少，这些项目将完全过渡。

A Continued Commitment to Sustainability and Craftsmanship

对可持续性和工艺的持续承诺

Hillbrush’s Traditional range has been part of our story for over a century. By selecting more responsible materials like PET, we’re ensuring this range remains true to its heritage while meeting modern expectations for sustainability and performance.

一个多世纪以来，Hillbrush的传统系列一直是我们故事的一部分。通过选择更负责任的材料，如PET，我们确保该系列保持其传统，同时满足现代对可持续性和性能的期望。
