What should I do with my old PVC products?

RNR Plastics recycles all of our scrap vinyl. We encourage you to do the same. As one of our customers, you are welcome to ship any parts we sold you back to us and we will recycle them for you.

PVC
or polyvinyl chloride is most commonly referred to as vinyl. It is a plastic material with a base of salt and oil. Creating PVC requires less petroleum than many other plastic material making it an economical choice from its beginning. 

Products made from vinyl are very durable and serve long useful lives. This diminishes waste such as in case when less durable products are used and then thrown away more frequently.

PVC is considered a thermoplastic material. Thermoplastic materials are those that can be melted again and again, and after being heated up to a certain temperature they will harden again as they cool.

PVC compounds are 100% recyclable physically, chemically or energetically.

After mechanical separation, grinding, washing and treatment to eliminate impurities, it is reprocessed using two techniques  and reused in production.

  • Mechanical recycling: PVC waste is shredded into small pieces that can be processed into a new PVC compound, ready for calendaring, extrusion or lamination.
  • Feedstock recycling: PVC waste is broken down into its chemical constituents, which can be used again to make PVC or other materials.

Preserving Resources

Dumping PVC in a landfill takes up precious land and is a waste of valuable materials. Collection is the starting point for recycling. This is why we focus our efforts to encourage the collection and recycling processes by supporting PVC collection initiatives and by accepting back our PVC products to collect and recycle them on behalf of our customer. At the end of the day, recycling will help us preserve fossil fuels and land for future generations. This can coexist with successful use of PVC as a durable, economical and practical material as a solution to many packaging challenges.
