[Perth, WA, 2015-05-08] – Perm-A-Pleat, one of the largest school uniform and accessory manufacturers in Australia, offers Duralon backpacks with superior quality and a lower price. The Duralon line is an innovation in the textile industry and is the better alternative over the “poison plastic” polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

Wonders of Duralon
Perm-A-Pleat’s backpack line features contemporary designs and current trends, and was manufactured using recycled material and Duralon fabric. Duralon is a water-resistant and highly durable eco-textile that does not contain PVC chemicals.

The Duralon bags are lightweight, Teflon-treated, durable, breathable and fade resistant. Clients may choose from a range of bags that are hardwearing, long lasting and environmentally friendly. The price of Duralon bags is also 20 per cent lower compared to most backpack lines, making it an excellent choice for parents looking to buy quality, eco-friendly and low-cost school bags.

PVC-Free Advocacy
Perm-A-Pleat’s launch of the Duralon line of bags marks their endeavour towards more environmentally and socially responsible practices. The creation of products without PVC chemicals made this possible. The company recognises that not all families know about the harmful effects and risks associated with PVC, and strives to make them aware of the bad health effects of the chemical through their Duralon bags.

Polyvinyl chloride is a plastic substance used in many inexpensive products. Environmental advocates and international organisations recognise the toxicity of this plastic and warn the public of its potential health threats, such as diabetes, endometriosis, cancer, birth defects, learning and developmental delays and immune system abnormalities.
