PVC recycling

PVC recycling involves collecting discarded PVC (polyvinyl chloride) products, such as pipes, bottles, or packaging, and processing them into new materials. The process typically includes cleaning the plastic, shredding it into small pieces, and then melting or extrusion to create pellets. These pellets can be used to manufacture new PVC items, reducing waste and input of raw materials. Recycling PVC is valuable but requires careful handling because it contains additives and can release harmful substances if not properly processed. Overall, PVC recycling helps conserve resources and minimizes environmental impact when done responsibly.
