If the collection/separation is the main problem (because PVC is intrinsically recyclable),what the PVC industry is doing?
The PVC industry is promoting PVC recycling, and subsidizing the creation of networks for the collection and recycling of PVC. Recovinyl is a good example, with existing networks running currently. In addition, PVC industry in the voluntary commitment Vinyl 2010,has established targets in recycling. 12. Are collection and separation the only conditions for PVC recycling? Yes, when PVC is separated, it can be recycled without any problems. The only exception is PVC composites. 13. Is there a recycling system for composite materials? Yes. The Vinyloop process developed by the Solvay Group, in the industrial solution for these cases and other recycling processes creating new products like mats. Vinyloop is a selective process for PVC recycling that allows to release the PVC from other components of the composite, or separate it in a selective way when PVC is mixed with other products. 14. The PVC can be recycled when is separated previously, when shares a composite and when is mixed with
