ABS Edge Banding The New Edge Banding in Europe?

In Europe, a large percentage of PVC edge banding is being replaced by ABS, PP and Polyester. Movement in this direction is starting to take hold in the US for the same reasons. ABS is more environmentally friendly than PVC. It's also classified as a "greener" product.

When burned, ABS merely produces CO2, water, and nitric oxide as opposed to PVC, which releases harmful compounds.
