Recycling PVC

Recycling PVC (polyvinyl chloride) involves collecting old or discarded PVC products, cleaning them to remove impurities, and then processing them into pellets or granules. These recycled materials can be melted and reshaped into new products, reducing waste and the need for virgin plastic production. Proper recycling helps minimize environmental impact since PVC contains additives that must be carefully managed during processing. It’s used in applications like piping, flooring, and packaging, and recycling PVC supports sustainability by conserving resources and decreasing landfills.
