PVC yahoze ari plastiki nini nini-rusange muri rusange kandi yarakoreshejwe cyane. Ikoreshwa cyane mubikoresho byubwubatsi, ibicuruzwa byinganda, ibikenerwa bya buri munsi, uruhu rwo hasi, amatafari yo hasi, uruhu rwubukorikori, imiyoboro, insinga ninsinga, firime ipakira, amacupa, ibikoresho bifuro, ibikoresho bifunga kashe, fibre nibindi.
