Project description
Out with the bad: Removing hazardous chemicals from poly vinyl chloride for safe reuse
Polyvinyl chloride, also called PVC or simply vinyl, is one of the most widely used polymers in the world. It can be found in products such as piping, shower curtains, window frames, cable insulation, flooring and even medical equipment. Due to the long useful life of many PVC products, old PVC products can contain hazardous additives that are no longer allowed in new PVC products, posing challenges for recycling. The EU-funded REMADYL project is tackling this important problem with a single-step continuous process to remove the additives and deliver high-quality REACH-compliant PVC. The team will produce new products from the recycled PVC while safely disposing of hazardous plasticisers and reusing the lead in batteries.
