Future-Proof PVC:
The green revolution
starts here
PVC is one of the three most widely used plastics in the world, but so far, every attempt at reuse has been thwarted by difficult-to-remove impurities.
Cescco2 to upcycle PVC with supercritical CO2
The aims of this JTF knowledge development project are to improve techniques used and develop a circular business model that allows discarded PVC products to remain in the materials cycle. A coherent package of solutions is being developed to recycle PVC including the use of supercritical CO2; a ‘green’ solvent that easily removes additives.
