Sustainable Development Plastic Recycling Recycled PVC

PVC, a material composed of 57% chlorine and 43% carbon (derived predominantly from oil or gas via ethylene), was discovered in 1835 and is highly resistant to water, chemicals, and fire. It is commonly used in construction, automotive, and everyday products due to its weather-resistant, easy-to-clean, and long-lasting properties. Recycled PVC material play a great role in protecting environment.

PVC recycling methods:

Mechanical recycling involves grinding PVC into small particles that can be remelted and reused to make the same or new products.

Chemical recycling uses processes like pyrolysis or hydrolysis to convert waste into reusable components. The resulting products, such as sodium chloride, calcium chloride and hydrocarbon products, can be used to produce PVC, raw materials or fuels.

Recycled PVC for further processing

PVC is a powder that is mixed with a plasticizer to make it flexible. The resulting mixture is then extruded into the desired shape. Other additives are added to enable extrusion and give it special properties for use (anti-UV, coloring, fire resistance, etc.).

PVC is 100% recyclable and can significantly reduce the carbon footprint compared to producing new material. It can be collected at waste centers, construction sites, and reprocessing centers.

PVCPROD, recycles all its PVC waste (PVC Film and PVC Core Sheet) and offers customers the option to recover their offcuts and used products. In addition to current collection solutions, PVCPROD can organize the return of your PVC Sheet to our factory.

Our environment is precious, and needs everyone's attention every day. Let's do our part to protect the Earth.
